Is there any way to create a custom path so that a word is drawn out along a
path. Like following a pen writing a word? Any suggestions on how I can
accomplish this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Using a custom path animation, providing you have 2002 or later. Add Effect
button, Motion Path, Draw Custom Path, and I'd use the Curve button. It will
take a bit of work as it wont be easy.

Glen, I did create a custom path and clearned up the points so it is smooth and directly over the word I want it to paint. I can get an image (small circle) to flow along the path I created, I just don't know how to leave a "trail" behind the ball so it spells out the letter. Any Way you know of?
