Activity Forums Adobe Illustrator Problem with text direction

  • Problem with text direction

    Posted by Barry Smith on February 26, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    I’m using Adobe Illustrator CS, which happens to be the middle east version, and from my ‘normal (western) operation’ that I was using, the text and working direction has reversed i.e. from left to right to right to left.

    How do I correct this please – I have tried Type>story direction>right to left, but this doesn’t do it?

    type >> type on a path >> type on a path options >> flip checkbox

    you can also correct this by using the direct select tool, and click down on the I-Beam and move then release the mouse button this to the opposite side of the path.
