About transforming type

You can transform text blocks in the same ways you can other objects. You can scale, rotate, skew, and flip text blocks to create interesting effects. When you scale a text block as an object, increases or decreases in point size are not reflected in the Character panel.

The text in a transformed text block can still be edited, although severe transformations may make it difficult to read.

For more information about transforming text blocks, see Working with objects overview.
