Using the Envelope Handles

These handles apply only to Normal Text and Monogram text
items. These two types of text are surrounded by a flexible
bounding box, called an envelope. You can adjust this shape by
moving the Envelope Handles.
The Envelope Handles are the pink circles, located at the mid-
point of the top and bottom borders of the text frame. Click and
drag these handles to make the top and/or bottom of the frame
concave ("bowed in") or convex ("bowed out")
You can also apply an envelope shape to a text segment
through the Properties Panel. You can use the Envelope
property in the Text area to apply a predefined envelope to a
Normal Text or Monogram text item.
For more information see "Applying an Envelope" in the
"Lettering Properties" section.

Rotating Text

Use the Rotation handle to change the angle of a text segment.
