Question about text flow and customized lines.

[Rydog23@adobeforums.com]

I know you can anchor the bottom of a line of text to a curvy line, but can you anchor the bottom of your text to one curvy line and have the top part of the text follow another customized line??? Thanks in advance.

Oh, like the envelope distort feature?

That started with AI 10.

I don't know much about envelopes, can you tell me how to do that with a line of type? I need to make it follow two different lines on top and bottom of the text in which both lines have different shapes etc. Thanks.

If you have AI 10, Object/Envelope distort/Make with mask.

Go through the different options in the pull down menue.

Or close the shape between the top and bottom lines, stack it on top and use Object/Envelope distort/Make with top object.
