Artistic text

Artistic text can be modified in many of the same ways as drawn objects, while still retaining standard text attributes. This makes it ideal for single words, headlines, pull quotes, etc.

When artistic text is resized, the text stretches or contracts to fit its new dimensions. Its font size automatically updates on the onscreen keyboard or Text Studio.

Although paragraph attributes can be set for artistic text, it is more likely modifications will be to character attributes and on-page positioning using design aids and a creative eye.

To create artistic text:

With the Artistic Text Tool selected:

Drag across and down the page to set the size of the text.
Do one of the following:
- Type your text.
- Paste previously copied text.

To resize artistic text:

With the artistic text selected with the Move Tool, do one of the following:

To resize height and width simultaneously (constraining the aspect ratio), drag the object's corner handles.
To resize height and width independently (unconstrained), drag the object's edge handles.
