Vert. Align: This indicates how close the original text is positioned to the circle. At 100%, the text just
touches the circle but the setting can be increased to move the text outwards, away from the center of
the circle or decreased to move the text inwards, towards the center.
Offset: This will rotate the text around the outside, if desired, so that the text begins in a circle location
along the outside of the circle.
On the settings you drag with your mouse button, remember to also use the right and left arrow keys on the
keyboard for smaller changes in the settings.
Click on Accept and then delete the circle:
Wrapping Text Half-way Around the Top and the Bottom of a Circle
In this example, the text needs to be split so that the first half wraps around the top half of a circle and the
second half wraps the other way around the bottom.
Type the text, again making sure that Split by Glyphs is selected. In this example, an address will be used:
Marquee-select the second half of the address and apply both the Mirror and the Flip functions:
Draw a circle and marquee-select the first of the text. Hold the Ctrl key while dragging the text into the
circle, letting go of the mouse button first. The Wrap Text to Path window will open:
This time, leave the Repeat box unchecked. Then begin adjusting the Offset so that the text moves to the
top half of the circle. It is a good idea to write down the Space and Vert. Align settings so that similar
values can be used when you do the second half of the text:
After applying Mirror
(Ctrl+M) on second
half of text
After applying Flip
(Ctrl+F) on second
word
Text is aligned along
bottom, so Offset
will be adjusted to
move text to the top.
Do not check Repeat
box as there will be no
repeats in this case.
