DavidW Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Can Artistic Text be typed vertically in Designer or Photo? I don't mean typing it horizontally then rotating it 90° nor a long narrow text box, I want to use Artistic Text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 No. But you can use frame text in a narrow frame and centre justify it. There is really not much difference in the two types of text. You can style frame text or convert it to curves. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Or just type the artistic text and apply a newline (enter) after each typed character.

toltec Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just now, v_kyr said: Or just type the artistic text and apply a newline (enter) after each typed character. What ??? That doubles the amount of typing involved Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Wow! Thanks for the fast replies. I thought maybe I was missing the obvious. I tried using a vertical line as a path and that wasn't efficient, probably because I haven't practiced. I'll use a text box like toltec suggested, which I already knew but it's not as easy to stretch and pull visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If you use this handle, you can "stretch and pull visually", resizing the frame and text inside as one. Very easy or, if you mean distorting the text shape, convert it to curves. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
