I created a path and fitted text to that path and everthing looks great. I now want to convert it to a curve. When I do so the text tuns into the curve but no longer follows the path. It is now a straight line. It seems simple enough but I can't figure it out. Why doesn't it keep to the path when I convert it to a curve? If this can't be done is there a way to fit the "curve" text to a path without having to minipulate each letter at a time? It seems like a simple task and it's driving me nuts.
Thanks
Hi Compu,
I have been trying to reproduce your results and have been unable to do so. I created a path, fitted some text to it and then clicked Ctrl+Q (Convert to Curves). The text was converted to curves and stayed where it was. I could then click on the curve and delete it.
I tried this several times, sometimes leaving the text sitting on the path and other times with the text at a distance from the path (but still fitted to the path) and everything worked fine each time. I am sorry I have not offered any help here, but at least you know it is not a general bug in CorelDraw X4.
That's for responding. OK... I made a line with the Bezier tool and curved it using the shape tool. Then I created some text and fitted the text to the path. Everything thus far is great. Then I do the Ctrl+Q and it separates the text and the arc and reformats the text in a straight line. Is this the exact same thing you did and yours worked ie.. text stayed in arc shape and was converted to curve?
Thanks for all the help.
