Repel Text Under - Pro+

I'm not sure why you would have other shapes or objects near the text. I have had good luck with repel shapes.

In this instance, I create a special shape so the text would not fill in behind the right side of the character/objects.

Gary, imagine, for a moment, that your cursive is to be aligned to the top of the text without your heading and authorship present. That top alignment would be by eye as the snap would fail. Without snapping, you have lost consistency. Many of the SmartShapes fail in this way.
