You can increase or decrease the size of text or a path. You can also change the direction of the text by rotating the text or the path, or by changing the text's orientation.
To scale or rotate a path: - Select the text on the path.
- Do one of the following:
- To scale the path (not the characters), place the cursor over any of the text box corner or side points, and when the cursor becomes a scale icon
, drag the point. - To rotate the path and the characters, place the cursor just outside of one of the corner points, and when the cursor becomes a rotate icon
, drag the corner point.
To change text orientation: - Select the text box.
