I haven't had any success in trying to place a line of text in a rainbow arc. I can see that I can have it in Circle form, but can't seem to manipulate the circle to my requirements.
String parameter is close, but it arcs downwards. I tried to rotate it but the text is now upside down.
Any tips?
Add spaces before and after your text / = spacebar. same number of blank spaces each side = and suit spacing

if you want to add a perspective look = the curve is lower on the horizon and the height top character would have a more upright perspective = That's how we would see things in real life > then angle the characters to upright but the text is angled up in perspective.
so the text far away left and right would also be further back so they can't have the same perspective. The T would be above you and have a vertical position so it's like a rainbow = the two ends must be further away than the middle because of its massive size, if that makes sense

so if you do it like this, the text would be very close to your eye and look wrong = you want the text to look far away and curve with the rainbow

Instead of adding spaces, you can set the radius of the CIRCLE 3 style with the 1st slider of the BOUNDING BOX property. Rotate the text with the TEXT ROTATION property.
