There are two ways you can add text to a path. The first is to create the path and text separately, then combine them. The second way is to type the text directly onto the path. In our previous tutorial, we explored the first method and combined separate text and path. This guide will show you how to add text directly onto a path.

Step 1
Create an object using the Ellipse tool (R)

Step 2
Select the Text tool (T) and click on the Ellipse path, and type your words. The cursor will change when you put it over a path, letting you know you can add text to it.

Step 3
Edit your text size to fit on the path if necessary.

*Note: Line breaks are ignored when you attach text to a path. All words/letters are lined up sequentially.

That’s it!
