Working with Text 33
Type on a path
In FreeHand, you attach text to a path; Illustrator lets you type text on a path.
You can then move or ip text along the path by dragging the handles that
appear on the sides of the text. Choose Type > Type On A Path to specify eects
and other options, such as spacing.
How do I position two paragraphs around a circle like in FreeHand?
In FreeHand, you can press the Return or Enter to align a second paragraph of
text in the lower part of an object. In Illustrator, you must rst divide the object
into two sections with the Scissors tool, and then you can ow the text along one
path and onto the second path by linking the text objects.
Linking text objects
If you want to insert text that will ow from one text area to another, you must
link them. Each area type object contains an in port and an out port; an empty
port indicates that all the text is visible and that the object isn’t linked. An arrow
in a port indicates that the object is linked to another object. A red plus sign in
an out port indicates that the object contains additional text (overow text).

In port
Thread
Overflow text indicator
When working with text that threads among objects, it can be useful to show
the threads; if they are hidden, choose View > Show Text reads, and then
select a linked object.
How do I create rows and columns in a text area?
In FreeHand, you create multiple columns and rows in the Object panel; in
Illustrator, you use the Area Type Options dialog box. Select the text box in
which you want to add columns or rows, and choose Type > Area Type Options.
Tip: Illustrator CS3 threads text between
objects. Click the in or out port of a
selected type object, and then click
and drag the loaded text icon to create
a second threaded object. To break a
thread, select a linked type object, and
then double-click the port on either end
of the thread.
Type path eects include (from top to
bottom) Rainbow, Skew, and 3D Ribbon.
