![]() Okay, so to clarify one last time - View image here: -Īnd honestly, I hope this doesn't sound like a lecture, since you're familiar with photoshop. It seems to me easier/more intuitive to quick and dirty graphics and layout in Photoshop than in Illustrator, Quark, or Pagemaker. However, I can usually get around the way Photoshop tools are mapped and understand their use fairly easily. I'll save the "how do I clip text to a path in Illustrator" question for another time. That was an error I got when trying out various tools to resize the text. Could I be missing a setting or using the wrong mouse button? When I use either selection tool (Selection or Direct Selection) on the widgets in the corner, they move the text I am attempting to resize instead of resizing it. ![]() Should I be resizing with a different tool on the tearoff type tool menu? Originally posted by Skyfalcon: The handles/widgets are not shown when I click on the text with the type tool. it can be kind of confusing, since a lot of the tools can perform the same tasks, but illustrator is built for vector image manipulation, and photoshop is for bitmaps. I disagree, especially since the photoshop toolset is very similar to the illustrator one. Why can't using tools in Illustrator or Pagemaker be intuitive like Photoshop or Dreamweaver? use the tool that looks like a solid 'T'. Is this the error you're getting? that probably means you're using the text-on-a-path text tool (looks like a 'T' with a squiggly line), and clicked on path. What is a non-compound, non-masking path? use the text tool, and click and drag to create a text box of the size you want. you can use either the selection tool (solid black arrow) or the direct selection tool (white arrow) to select the text and resize it once you've created a text box/paragraph. I believe aurich might have been thinking of freehand. I'm not sure the type tool does that with illustrator. The handles/widgets are not shown when I click on the text with the type tool.
