Text scaling: The input text can also be adjusted to the path object with the "warp" tool on the toolbar, as shown in Figure 5-04.

When you click the Zoom tool, there are eight control points and a zoom center point in the text box, and the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow when you move the mouse over the control point, and then drag the control point to change the shape of the object, as shown in Figure 5-05, 5-06. When you drag a control point while holding down the ALT key, the object is centered by the zoom point, causing the object to have a symmetric scaling distortion.

When you move the mouse over the four corners of any control point, the pointer changes to a circular arrow, and you drag the control point to move it to rotate the direction of the text, as shown in Figure 5-07, 5-08. Changing the position of the Zoom center at this point is the central position of the rotation point.

The use of the tilt tool and the distort tool is also achieved by dragging control points. You can practice it yourself. In addition, when the shape of the text box is changed, clicking the Text Tool again continues to enter or edit the text, as shown in Figure 5-09.
