1
00:00:00.06 --> 00:00:02.07
- You've seen what a
powerful drawing program

2
00:00:02.07 --> 00:00:05.02
Illustrator is but it's
also insanely great

3
00:00:05.02 --> 00:00:07.05
at creating and formatting text.

4
00:00:07.05 --> 00:00:09.00
You can click with the type tool

5
00:00:09.00 --> 00:00:11.09
and bang out a few words
that align to a point.

6
00:00:11.09 --> 00:00:15.00
Or you can import text
and flow it into columns.

7
00:00:15.00 --> 00:00:19.01
You can search fonts by name
and by style, as well as arrow

8
00:00:19.01 --> 00:00:21.09
your way through all the fonts
installed on your system.

9
00:00:21.09 --> 00:00:24.07
You can fit a headline to
a specific column width,

10
00:00:24.07 --> 00:00:28.01
create drop caps and
resolve widows and orphans.

11
00:00:28.01 --> 00:00:30.02
You can wrap text around a graphic,

12
00:00:30.02 --> 00:00:33.02
not to mention flow text
along a path outline.

13
00:00:33.02 --> 00:00:35.03
And you can locate fractions, ornaments,

14
00:00:35.03 --> 00:00:37.02
and other hidden characters

15
00:00:37.02 --> 00:00:39.09
using the highly intuitive glyphs panel.

16
00:00:39.09 --> 00:00:41.08
Seriously, there's so much you can do,

17
00:00:41.08 --> 00:00:42.09
it's a bit overwhelming.

18
00:00:42.09 --> 00:00:45.08
In fact, full disclosure,
I have to warn you

19
00:00:45.08 --> 00:00:47.07
that this chapter is intense.

20
00:00:47.07 --> 00:00:51.00
Some people at this point,
they'll be tempted to bow out,

21
00:00:51.00 --> 00:00:52.05
which gives you the edge.

22
00:00:52.05 --> 00:00:55.01
Because if I know you,
you're up for the challenge.

23
00:00:55.01 --> 00:00:58.09
Here, let me show you exactly
and in painstaking detail

24
00:00:58.09 --> 00:01:01.06
how text inside Illustrator works.
