I haven't investigated this further yet, but will do shortly. Oops, too
late ;-) I've just followed through the "fiddly" instructions at the
above link and "introduced" a "Fontwork" menu item into the "Format menu
of "Draw". With this "Fontwork" dialog I am now able to place text onto
a path in OOo Draw.
It's crude but definitely will have some usages.
What is 'crude' about it?
Only in that it is characterized by it's simplicity - it lacks
sophistication. I do not mean that in a negative sense. Nor do I see it
as a drawback, I only see it as a useful addition, not as something bad
or unworkable.
Tip (once you have a "Fontwork" menu). Write some text onto a Draw page.
Open the "Fontwork" dialog. Select the text you typed earlier. Click one
of the curve icons near the top of the "Fontwork" dialog. The effect
should be immediate.
Perhaps RTFM is crude...
I prefer to RTM, thanks.
"RTFM"?
"RTM"?
What????
And don't forget "RTMF" ... <GRIN> - Ken
Here is a question:
I remember something about someone talking about a program
that help with making text follow a curve. This was not
the Fontwork system that OOo has.
Was it an extension to Draw?
I ask this since I need to use a circle and have the text use
the line as its "footing" for the letters. It is like having
the text sitting on a straight line, then take that line and
turn it into a circle, instead of straight. I remember doing
this several years ago, but cannot remember how or what software
I used.
I have to have a filled circle logo surrounded by text of my choosing.
The logo is not mine, but I have to use it as the center piece of the
new logo for a local branch of the group.
Thanks for any help.
