Typing text onto a curve
You can create a text object by typing directly onto a line or shape. This is a useful alternative to typing in the text and then fitting it to the line.

2. Choose the Text Tool.
3. Click on the line or shape. CTRL-click to start the text at the beginning of the line.
4. Type the text. When the text cursor reaches the end of the line, it wraps onto a new line underneath. If you are typing the text onto a shape, it will wrap around the line again.
When you click, two handles appear on the line or shape that show the width of the text. The text wraps within this width, just like column text.
Tips
 Text will always follow the direction 
 in which the curve was drawn. You can reverse 
 the line direction if required. Alternatively use the flip 
 buttons in the Selector Tool to flip the line.

 If you do not want text wrapping 
 (you want the text continuing off the end of the line), Shift-click on 
 the line. This inserts a kern character 
 at the beginning of the line.
