TEXT ALONG A PATH

Postby stoopidhead » Thu Mar 20, 2014 5:29 am

I know how to put text ON a path... and I can rotate the text... but I'd like to know if there's a way to move, (slide), the text along the path like a choo-choo train.

If you can help me, please make your answer as "literal" as you can, if possible. I'm an Aspergers person and can't often grasp something that may be implied.

1. Do this
2. Do that
3. Blah blah
etc. ...

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Hi

Place cursor on left side of text and use ALT+Arrow to move text to the right.
Cursor on right side of text to move it to the left again using ALT + Arrow.
