Tantarus, I'm not having any problems in getting the text on the path or positioning it along the path. My original question at the start of the thread was asking if there was a way of getting the text to reduce in font size from the first to the last letter other than editing the font size of each individual letter entered in the sentence. If you take your example, which has a uniform font size along the length of the sentence, and rasterize it or peform any scale/skew/warp transformation on the text as a whole, it distorts the text and moves the text from the original path. The reason behind the question is that my kids are doing some creative writing for school and are trying to get the effect of their writing going down a drain like water going down the plug hole in a bath. The text needs to go in a spiral and get smaller as it gets closer to the plug hole. Shane
