We'll admit it, once again this probably could have been part of the previous tip, but we thought we'd separate it, just in case you already knew the previous tip. This is the option to add rows and columns to more than just rectangles. Create any shape you want and then click near the shape's path with the Area Type tool (which is nested under the Type tool in the Toolbox). Then, while still using the Area Type tool, you can go to the Type menu and choose Area Type Options (as in the previous tip) to change the options for columns and rows. |
