text on curve

[David O'Neil]

...Ok when I tried to select the line to either delete it or make it no colour I seem to select a "group" of both the line and the text...

At that point, all you have to do is select the freehand brush tool, and changes made after that only affect the line.

Instruction available, Ian, in XaraXremePro Help file "Hiding the line in text on a curve"

To hide the line in text on a curve
1. Select the text object on the curve.
2. Choose the Shape Editor Tool. This selects just the line or shape.
3. Shift-click (or right-click) on the No color button on the Color Line.

My comment: This method leaves the text fully editable.

Cheers, Anders

Caveat: Make sure your text spelling it right first
