2 Point to the left side of the dashed circle. When the pointer is on a path like this, a vertical bar (“I-beam”) pointer appears. Click the path when the I-beam is displayed. At the place you click, a blinking line (“insertion point”) appears, which indicates you can begin typing. 3 Type the phrase “Ask the Experts” (without quotation marks). You can backspace to correct typing mistakes. As you type, the text follows the path, appearing in the selected font and size. The exact position isn’t important at this time. 4 When you finish typing, press the Esc key. Pressing Esc ends typing mode and leaves the text object selected. After you type the text, you can adjust its position. When the text object is selected, three small handles (two triangles and a square) appear near the beginning of the text. Use the handles to move the text around the path, set the distance from the path, and reverse the text flow direction. Click the Path Text tool to place the insertion point on the dashed circle. Type the text and use the handles to adjust the position. You can also remove the dashed circle.
