  • Corel X4 Fitting text inside a circle

    Posted by Jason Middleton on 10 March 2011 at 12:42

    I can’t remember how I fit the text inside the circle so that it reads the right way, I can can get it to fit to the outside of the circle but only upside down, can somebody advise what I need to do

    Many thanks in advance

    Jason

    Do you mean following the outline or inside the circle as a container?

    select txt, then on the menu bar…. text > fit text to path, click on path and away theee goes,

    remember it’s important which way the circle was drawn, the text follows the path, once on the path there are options to sit the text on or under the line etc.

    Thanks Hugh but I can still only get it fitting to the underside of the circle

    Should be an option to ‘Place on other side’

    Thanks, I needed to mirror vertically and then mirror horizontally

    Thanks again

    Look for the little "A" in the menu bar when trying to fit text to path, it lets you flip it up or down.
    In Corel 12 at least.
    It’s a real pain in the patootie.
    Love…..Jill
