Type on a path effects
A. Rainbow effect B. Skew effect C. 3D Ribbon effect D. Stair Step effect E. Gravity effect
• To keep characters’ vertical edges perfectly vertical regardless of the path shape, while letting characters’
horizontal edges follow the path, choose Skew. The resulting horizontal distortion is useful for text that appears
to follow waves or go around a cylinder, as on a beverage can label.
• To keep characters’ horizontal edges perfectly horizontal regardless of the path shape, while keeping each
character’s vertical edge perpendicular to the path, choose 3D Ribbon.
• To keep the left edge of each character’s baseline on the path without rotating any characters, choose Stair Step.
• To keep the center of each character’s baseline on the path while keeping each vertical edge in line with the path’s
center point, choose Gravity. You can control this option’s perspective effect by adjusting the arc of the text’s path.
Add anchored objects to type on a path
1 Using the Type tool or the Type On A Path tool, click an insertion point in the text where you want the anchor for
the object to appear.
2 Add the anchored object. You can add inline or above line anchored objects or frames to the path. (See “Anchored
objects” on page 186.)
Note: Theoptionsavailableforabovelineanchoredobjectsinatextpathdifferslightlyfromoptionsforanchoredobjects
in a regular text frame: the Alignment option is relative to the anchored object marker and the Space Before option is
not available.

I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
