Circle Text Tool
Text on a circular path is created using the Circle Text tool. When
the text is first created, it is given a default font height and circle
diameter, which can be adjusted using the text tools.
To create Circle Text:
1 On the Ribbon, select the Home tab.
2 On the Text bar, click the Circle Text tool.
3 Click once in the design window.
An empty Circle Frame appears in the workspace.
4 Type the desired text into the “Upper Text” and “Lower Text” fields
in the Properties panel.
5 Right-click to complete the text segment.
Your text appears in the design. You can now make any other
changes to the text segment in the Text Properties box.
6 To choose a new font (i.e., other than the currently selected one)
for the text string at this point, do the following:
In the Text area of Properties panel, click in the Font field to
select it.
Click the down-arrow to the right of the font field.
If another text item was already selected, your first click only de-
selected that item. You will have to click again to place a new text item.
Text typed in the Upper Text field will by centered at the top of the circle,
and will run clockwise, while text typed in the Lower Text field will be
centered at the bottom, and run counter-clockwise.
For more information, see “Changing Text Direction” in the “Text
Properties” section of the manual.
