Warping text

pretty sure you cannot add points to the mould shape envelopes

No you can't, but you can slice a shape into numerous other shapes, select mould and adjust their four point shapes for each one individually. Gary suggested this in his earlier post whereby 'fis' and 'h' were treated as different moulds. In the attachment all four characters are independant shapes with moulds applied.

I have been using all your products for the last 12 years and it is my go to program for everything involving graphics and text. I have never tried using the text warping function so I was groping around in the dark. I think I'm getting the gist of your reply and will attempt to hone my skills. Also could you give me some advice on adding points to a line so that I can get more control over fine-tuning the warp. Thanks to both you and Gary. I always find the answers I need at this website.

Mesh warp has been oft requested. It would be a great addition.

which is fine if your slices are discrete [seperate objects], but time consuming if they are not because you would need to get the slices aligned and placed together precisely; it would still be quicker with a mesh warp I think; maybe even the shape editor tool, as Tony R mentioned
