Specifies that the left edge of the text will start at the outer end of the imaginary radius line.Ĭenter. Specifies the alignment of the text, relative to the "imaginary line" which extends from the Reference Point to the text. Specified that the bottom of the text will be facing away from the reference point.Īlignment. Specifies that the bottom of the text will be facing toward the reference point.Ĭounterclockwise. Specifies the direction that the text will be displayed.Ĭlockwise. Specifies the angle to rotate the text around the Reference Point.ĭirection. The curvature of the text is determined by the radius therefore, the closer the text is to the reference point the more curved it will be. Adjusts the curvature by specifying the distance between the Reference Point and the text. This point is specified by moving the object with the mouse or defining the position using the Position property page. Specifies that the radius will be measured from the coordinates of the object's reference point. Specifies that the radius will be measured from the center of the template. The curvature of the text is determined by the distance (the radius) that the text is from the reference point therefore, the closer the text is to the reference point the more curved it will be. Specifies the point around which arc text will be curved and from which the Radius distance is measured.

A sample at the bottom of the page shows how your choices will affect the formatting of the selected text object.

The General tab allows you to set the alignment, amount of curvature, and angle of the paragraph.
