Hi, I have some text around a polygon, using 'attach text to path'. The polygon is basically a frame near margin of Page, on a book cover. At the moment the default start point of text is at top left of the said box. But I need it to move over to the top right corner.
Any tricks to accomplish this? I would expect there to bi an anchor handle that can bi dragged around the path/shape.
Ps, captcha was a horrible pain during sign up with blurry images!
Oh no! More blurry letters bellow that I can't read!
Ok, a quick work round, that achieves the result that I need in this case, I rotated the polygon 'box' by 270 deg, which made it long, and then resized it by clicking shape edit and shift-dragging corners to become tall to fill the page margin.
But this is not a work around for any unusual shapes that can't bi rotated, obviously.
Ps, I am not enjoying the post verification with letters that ark hidden and obscured and then my post fails because I got it wrong!
Oops, meant ctrl-drag. Anyway I noticed that when editing the polygon shape after text to path, it is now a line with start end points. So the better question should be, how would one move the start point of a polygon shape?
As when you draw a polygon box the start is always top left it seems??
sounds interesting
could you post up a sample sla file with some examples?
On the Text Properties window, go to the Path Text Properties, and change the "Start Offset" value to move the text along the frame.
@MrB, great idea! I just found that out today as well!
