You can accomplish most of the basic modifications to text using the Property bar. These include changing the font face, size, and color and changing the justification. For more advanced modification, you must use the Text palette.

Basic Text Modification

The Property bar is a handy one-stop shop for most of your text modifications.

Spacing

Using the Text palette, you can change the spacing between letters (the tracking ) or the spacing between lines (the leading ).

Wrapping Text around a Path
