Hi All, I have a question for people who have used or are using Adobe's TypeAlign program. I was wondering: will it let me make a curve and have the text follow that curve? I plan to use the output with PageMaker 4.0. So if anyone can throw me a selling pitch, or compare it to Broderbund's (sorry I can't get that o right) TypeStyler, I would like to hear it! --- Ian ---

Yes, it will let you give a curve and bind type to the curve. The baisc curve is apparently part of a circular arc, but you can also draw a freehand curve. I find this hard to do in a smooth fashion, but after much tweaking, it can look good. It's not as easy as a post dcript progam like Cricket Graph, but the price is right. (btq, I am using a Personal LW SC for output.) Bruce Hoover
