need help... word art

[AnotherSignManiac]

I feel so stupid asking this, but I am just not getting it. I have a graphic (see attached) that was made originally in word. I need to replicate it in flexi to make it a cut file I do not have the original artwork just the picture. I am sure that there is an easy way to do this, just not sure how. Please help

Can't you just re-create it ??

It looks fairly easy to duplicate.

Import the photo.

NOT FOR HIRE is Eurostyle. PRIVATE looks like Aachen. Use one of your distortions in Flexi to fix the type. Done.

Not sure about flexi, but in corel, the tool you are looking for is called envelope

looks like Aachen line one
and Eurostile Bold line two and three

unless I am horribly missing something, I don't see where I can actually distort the text with a preset distortion (I only have distortion under effects, and that doesnt give me the effect that I need.) working with Flexi 7v2

In version 8.5 the distortion to use is Two Wave. I can't remember back to 7.x, but I know I did a lot of that kind of thing with that version.

Set everything you need without distortions, rotate all, Select the line to distort and use "Arch-Top" to achieve the desired -factor, then rotate. Done.

Thank you that's it... and now I feel stupid I forgot I could hit the box within the distortion tool to change the effect... I think I am going to go back in hide in my hole now....

Thanks again everyone!!

No need to rotate it before distorting it. In the EFFECTS menu select ARCH TOP, then click on the rotators at the bottom of the box.

Wait, you already figured that out.
