Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
When I switched to Illy from Freehand, that was one of the features I missed the most, but hey, better late than never. Now if the could only revive Freehand's text in a circle feature. If you wanted type on the top and bottom of a circle, you would type it on 2 lines, then attach it to a circle. It would automatically split the 2 lines to the top and bottom, perfectly centered. Illy's type on a circle is a PITA compared to that, but I can still do it, just a lot more steps.Steve

I always found Corel Draw's type editing features to be WAY more better than Illustrator's. Type on a path, enveloping, letter spacing... Illustrator is and always will be a step or two BEHIND Draw as far as ease-of-use for type and layout... the thinking being that other Adobe products are designed for that.
