A different flavor of Fit Text To Curve?

I doubt if this is possible ... but I've been surprised in the past ... so I have to ask:

Is there a feature to fit text to a curve and maintain its upright "posture"?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think Xara does this, but CorelDraw does. But it begs the question "How did you do it in your example?"

Thanks for your reply.

I did the example by crafting each character (shear), individually, and then placing them next to one another. It's just not practical to do on a wide basis. If anything needs to change, the line's look just falls apart.

That said, I do like the effect and will probably use it here and there.

Excellent! Page 3 >> Creating Envelopes >> Making Waves ... seems to be spot on what I need!

"Enveloping" (as I now read in the help file) is a whole area of Xara features that I didn't know about.

Thanks for pointing this out.

You're welcome!
