WORKING WITH TEXT Glyphs panel Type path effects include (from top to bottom) Rainbow, Skew, and 3D Ribbon. How do I insert special characters? To insert special characters or characters for which you do not know the keyboard shortcut, use the Glyphs panel (choose Type > Glyphs). Using any type tool, click an insertion point where you want to enter the character, and then double-click the character you want in the Glyphs panel. How do I format text? In FreeHand, you can format text in both the Object Panel and the Text toolbar. In Illustrator, you can format selected text directly in the Control panel or by using the Character and Paragraph panels. Where are the text effects? In Illustrator, there are no text-specific effects such as highlight, shadow, or zoom. You apply text effects from the Effect menu just as you would with any graphic element. You'll find strikethrough and underline in the Character panel (if you do not see these options, choose Show Options from the panel menu). How do I create rows and columns in a text area? In FreeHand, you create multiple columns and rows in the Object panel; in Illustrator, you use the Area Type Options dialog box. Select the text box in which you want to add columns or rows, and choose Type > Area Type Options. Type on a path In FreeHand, you attach text to a path; Illustrator lets you type text on a path. You can then move or flip text along the path by dragging handles on the sides of the text. Choose Type > Type On A Path to specify effects and other options, such as spacing.
