Nelly Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hello When creating a text on path, the area underneath (in this case creating a half crescent shape) is filled with a solid white. Why is this, why not transparent like around the text and above? Have attached screenshot for reference, any help to make this area transparent much appreciated... Have added a 2nd photo with just a solid blue shape behind to show more clearly. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 In Publisher (as compared to Designer), Path Text can have a stroke for the path and a fill. The values for both are controlled in the Text Frame studio panel (View > Studio > Text Frame). If you don't want the stroke or the fill you can turn them off there.

Check out Saturday Night Live's ad for Quarry a cereal full of minerals. Basically just gravel. If memory serves it was from their first year.
