Using the Envelope Handles

These handles apply only to Normal Text and Monogram text
items. These two types of text are surrounded by a flexible
bounding box, called an envelope. You can adjust this shape, by
moving the Envelope Handles.
The Envelope Handles are the round, pink handles that are
centered on the design, both above and below the text. These
handles adjust vertically to form a curved shape to the text, top
and bottom independently. Used in combination with the Corner
Handles, a wide variety of text effects can be achieved.
Another way you can apply an envelope shape to a text
segment is through the Properties Panel. You can use the
Envelope property in the Text area to apply a predefined
envelope to a Normal Text or Monogram text item.
For more information see "Applying an Envelope" in the
"Lettering Properties" section.

Rotating Text

To rotate text, use the Rotation Handle. The Rotation Handle is
at the top right of the design and appears as an orange circle.
Place your mouse over this handle and the pointer will change
to a circle-arrow handle
For Circle Frames, note that the rotation handle is appears on
the inner circle of the frame, centered under the top text string.
See "Rotating Circle Text".
