Transforming type


    You can rotate, reflect, scale, and shear type just as you do other objects. However, how you select the type affects the transformation results:

    • To transform the type along with its bounding path, select the type object. (See Selecting type objects.)
    • To transform just the bounding path, but not the type it contains, select the type path. (See Selecting type paths.)
