Overview

Macromedia Fireworks MX makes it possible to design spectacular text graphics. You can control the fill and stroke of the path, apply live effects, and even make the text follow a specified path. You'll even see how to use your text object as a mask to build text from bitmap images!

In this chapter, you explore the text tools and use the Property inspector to control the appearance of the text. Experienced Fireworks users should read this chapter carefully — the tools and methods used to add text have changed since earlier versions of Macromedia Fireworks.
