Convert Artistic Text to Frame Text

[AaplMike]

Hey all.

 

I didn't see an easy way to do this so I'll post here.

 

It would be nice (if non-extant) to have a way to convert from Artistic Text to Frame Text.

Unless I'm missing something, I sometimes make Artistic Text inadvertently then want to stretch the object out to the edges of it's enclosing object in order to apply text centering. Being Artistic Text, it just stretches the text out instead. Then I have to copy the text, delete the object, create a new Frame Text object, then paste in the text.

 

I may be just missing something obvious...it seems like this functionality should be there.

 

Thanks,

Have you tried the Arrange button (options) at the top tool bar, near the center?  I didn't get the impression you did, so I thought I would ask?  And I am wondering if that would solve your problem.  At least the alignment problem.

 

I am no expert, but I didn't find any way to convert artistic text into frame text, other than what you had mentioned.
