Great tut thank you!

Hey PS, great video thanks :) I was having trouble with my text kerning messing up when having to resize the shape to fit the design, but your video has taught me how to get the text on path shape perfect before going ahead adding the text

[@janet3008]

still decades behind what the old Aldus Freehand software (which Adobe purchased) where when putting type on a path to circles or ovals was to simply type the first line of text, a paragraph return, then the second line on the path and click center. the first line would be at the top, second line at the bottom perfectly centered. no need to move handles or create a second circle/oval.

[@ivokosk6168]

That does sound easier! However when you finally find a need for more customization then perhaps these handles might be quite handy. But I agree, they should have an easier automated method also for adobe

Hi what if I want to type on straight basic line (for example from one corner of square to another corner) and I want the text to be horizontal? Thank you.

[@bestofall4u657]

thanks your video helped me.

[@PixelSurplus]

Glad to hear that!

[@freaky425]

what is the other font name that is used with the MILE font?

[@webwarren]

I'm working on an earlier version of Creative Suite (CS4); "rounded corners" would only work on all 4 corners of the rectangle. I had to create a rectangle, a circle, and do some path cuts and joins to create the shape. Also the instructions for centering text and the left and right handles seem to be a bit wonky on this earlier version. Just a heads-up for those who, like me, couldn't afford upgrades and can't afford a CC subscription.

Thanks for sharing that workaround Brenda! Very helpful for a lot of people not using CC
