Wrapping Text Around Objects

Chapter 3:

Objects, Groups, and Layers , applying a text wrap to an entire group allows you to specify one text wrap setting for the entire group. Choosing several objects and then applying a text wrap simply applies an individual text wrap to each selected object. Once you've made a selection, choose Object > Text Wrap > Make.

Older versions of Illustrator required that you apply a text wrap by selecting both the text and the object. Doing this in Illustrator CS2 creates a wrap around both the text and the object, so make sure you have just the object selected.

Unlike layout applications such as InDesign, Illustrator's text wrap feature doesn't allow you to edit the text wrap in the form of a path. The only thing that you can specify is the offset value, which you can access by selecting the object with the wrap and choosing Object > Text Wrap > Text Wrap Options.

A text wrap's boundary is defined by the object's appearance, not its vector path. If you have live effects applied to an object, a text wrap that is applied to that object will follow the appearance.

Once a text wrap has been applied to an object, any area text that appears below it in the stacking order will wrap around the object (Figure 6.22 ). Point type is not affected at all by text wraps. To remove a text wrap, select an object that has an existing text wrap already applied and choose Object > Text Wrap > Release.

Figure 6.22. The spell check feature in Illustrator can prove to be helpful, although it's amusing to note that InDesign isn't in the dictionary.
