Using artistic text
Artistic text is standalone text you type directly onto a page. Especially useful
for headlines, pull quotes, and other special-purpose text, it's easily formatted
with the standard text tools but has some artistic advantages over frame text.
For example, you can initially "draw" artistic text at a desired point size, and
drag it to adjust the size later. And unlike the characters in a text frame, an
artistic text object can take different line styles, fills (including gradient and
Bitmap fills), and transparency for stunning pictorial effects. You can even
flip artistic text and it will remain editable!
Here are other similarities and differences between frame text and artistic
text.
With artistic text, as with frame text, you can vary character and
paragraph properties, apply named text styles, edit text in WritePlus,
access it with the Text Manager, track font usage with the Resource
Manager, embed inline images, apply filter effects, and use proofing
options such as AutoSpell/Spell Checker, Proof Reader, and Thesaurus.
However, you cannot import text from a file. And because artistic text
doesn't flow or link the way frame text does; the Frame context toolbar's
text-fitting functions aren't applicable.
To create artistic text:
1. Choose the
Artistic Text Tool from the Tools toolbar’s Artistic Text
flyout.
2. Click anywhere on the page for an insertion point using a default point
size, or drag to specify a particular size as shown here.
3. Set initial text properties as needed before typing, using the Text context
toolbar, Format menu, or right-click (choose Text Format>).
4. Type normally to enter text.
