Text Area 1

[ridge]

I have Version 8.0... I need to add text and then arc it.
When I open the text area box, and click it it, the text is above the box. When I hit my enter key to move it down, it disappears, unless I make my text box even bigger. The bottom line it that I need to be able to 'tighten' the text box to fix my text, so that when I arc it, i can get the right angles.
As it is now, when I arc it, the box is so big, and the text is at the top, so I cant get the right arc angle.
How can I get my text box tighter?

When you open the Character palette (Window > Character), what settings have you got? Try using "Reset Character" in the flyout menu and start again. Also look at the Paragraph palette, and make sure everything is set to 0. You may have reason to change them later, but starting from default settings may help get you up and running.
