Transforming Type

Ever notice that you can't use all of the features of the Free Transform tool (E) when you're working with type? You won't be able to use the Command key (PC: Control key) to skew or warp it in certain ways. If you want to do this with the Free Transform tool, you'll first have to convert the type to outlines by selecting it and choosing Type>Create Outlines. Now you're free to transform away.
