85 The lettering doesn’t fit. But not to worry! Begin to tweak the settings: To end up with a perfectly arranged design, work with the settings in this order: Repeat Count: If you want a particular number of repeats, enter it. Spacing: This is the distance between each of the repeats. In our example, it is the space set betweenthe end of “Birthday” and the start of the next “Happy.” Note that this may not be retained as the Spacesetting is adjusted to get all of the repeats visible. Space: This is the distance between the individual shapes making up the design. In our example, it isthe space between all of the letters making up “Happy Birthday.” Vert. Align: This indicates how close the original text is positioned to the circle. At 100%, the text justtouches the circle but the setting can be increased to move the text outwards, away from the center ofthe circle or decreased to move the text inwards, towards the center. Offset: This will rotate the text around the outside, if desired, so that the text begins in a circle locationalong the outside of the circle. On the settings you drag with your mouse button, remember to also use the right and left arrow keys on thekeyboard for smaller changes in the settings. Click on Accept and then delete the circle:Wrapping Text Half-way Around the Top and the Bottom of a Circle In this example, the text needs to be split so that the first half wraps around the top half of a circle and thesecond half wraps the other way around the bottom. Type the text, again making sure that Split by Glyphs is selected. In this example, an address will be used: Marquee-select the second half of the address and apply both the Mirror and the Flip functions:Click on Acceptwhen done.After applying Mirror (Ctrl+M)on second half of textAfter applying Flip (Ctrl+F) onthe second wordVert. Align moves the textinwards towards the centerof the shape or away.Space moves theindividual characterscloser or further apart.Offset is used to move thestarting location of the text.Now all three arearranged evenlyaround the circle.
