There was one thing in there that until now I was doing all the time in Illustrator (well not all the time). If you wanted text to appear it was circling an object.

I put my text on an elipitcal path, set it to skew, which it doesn’t skew, the text just gets turned back to front as it goes around the path. Then a simple flip and rotate to bring to the text to face the right way at the front and the wrong way at the back.

Then I split the globe with the trusty scissors and then brought part of the globe to the front to hide some of the text, so that the text looked like it was circling the globe. It worked ok with smaller text.

This didn’t work so great with the image though, as it skewed the image, but not the text. If you wanted to make it look like there was objects orbiting.

Mr. Blatner, it really is a neat trick and I thank you. Although as I said earlier and you confirmed, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to store the settings for Type on Path Options within a style.

I was looking to augment Mr. Coles and Mr. Murphys already super tutorials.

Thanks again
