The text flows in the direction in which points were added to the path. In addition to typing text in your artwork, you can import it from a variety of text file formats (for example Microsoft Word, RTF, or plain text documents) by choosing File > Place. How do I insert special characters? To insert special characters or characters for which you do not know the keyboard shortcut, use the Glyphs palette. 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 palette. How do I format text? In FreeHand, you can format text both in the Object Panel and the Text toolbar. In Illustrator, you can format selected text directly in the Control palette or by using the Character or Paragraph palettes. 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 Effects menu just as you would with any graphic element. You'll find strikethrough and underline in the Character palette (if you do not see these options, choose Show Options from the palette menu).
