text in a spiral

[charliescoffee]

Many thanks to all, I converted the spiral to an editable shape and the text flowed perfectly, I didn't have a problem with it not following the line properly. The only glitch is that I was originally thinking of having the text begin at the outer spiral end rather than at the center, it fit better in the overall piece, but this is something I can work around easily and it isn't going to be a problem for what I have to do. In the end, I don't want the spiral line, just the text, but it was simple to remove the line and the text stayed where it was supposed to be. I haven't done the complete text yet, I'm still composing, but it looks like I have a solution that I can work with. As always, the folks at TalkGraphics are GREAT!!

You could try reversing the line - with the line selected use the line tool and the reverse button is on the InfoBar.

Also try selecting the text and use the Left/Right/Centre/Justify options.
