skarekrow 1,842 Posted June 26, 2014 Convert text to curves, Node edit, grab the affected nodes, use the arrow key to slide them straight over or drag them with your mouse. Sorry, I don't know Flexi..It's just a generic explanation for most vector programs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suz1234 24 Posted June 26, 2014 So glad you asked this question. This week I am trying to learn more about fonts and text so this one helped me too! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted June 26, 2014 Or break apart text, as soon as you convert to outlines it is no longer text, it is an object. Also use your mouse and shift and ctrl keys, to manipulate text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted July 5, 2014 Do all your manipulating on a copy of your text. Once you convert to curves it is no longer editable as text....PLUS you may need to go back and start over if things get real UGLY! Sue2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lenoreerickson 2 Posted July 8, 2014 So true!!! So many times I've been manipulating texts etc, and wish I would have saved the original before I started! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
