When your cursor shows the curve symbol, click and start typing, and the text follows the curve. Now when we activate the Text tool and move the cursor over the path we created, the cursor symbol changes from an A to a curve symbol while on the path. With the Path tool, we click at multiple points along the path we want to create, and double-click to finish the path. In this example, we want to add some text around the hat. By default, this tool group is represented by the Rectangle tool icon, so you need to click the small arrow to expand the tool group and activate the Path tool. The Path tool can be found in the Shape tool group on the main toolbar. Some Open Type characters will have a small arrow you can click for alternate sets of characters.
