A simple to use program that did not just fix my issues, it put my Mac on overdrive again. One program to lead them all….okay that was a lame Lord of the rings reference, but that program was/is Detox My Mac. I am lucky, I did, but not after trying everything under the sun first and wasting countless hours looking for one program that can do what I needed instead of ten programs. No instead I have to figure out what is wrong. Because I work from home there is no IT guy to call and ask to come fix it. My light speed Mac slows down to a crawl and all of the sudden I simply can not get any work done. Things fragment, programs get corrupted issues come up. I move around massive amounts of information and yes even on the almighty Mac this can cause a problem after a while. So my Mac, I have it because it is fast, gets the job done and comes back for more.īut what happens when it doesn't want to do those things anymore?

I work from home, it is great, but even if it is from home it is still work and it still needs to get done. Hours and hours sitting in front of my Mac copying, pasting, moving, deleting, hour after hour just beating on my Mac in a endless assault to get my work done. No it was because of the music production I do on it.

There is a reason why I bought a Mac, it was not to be one of the cool kids that wanted the best of the best. Please read ' Curving text in Pages with Comic Life'. It may take the same amount of effort as doing it with text boxes.Īfter I posted this, I found another easy way of curving text. I've described how to in several previous posts, for example here, and on using various styles of shape frames to make letter here. But I would also suggest trying to draw your own letters - do the whole alphabet! - and then copy-pasting them as objects and arranging them in a curving line. You may want to do it this way if you have a favourite font. This disables ‘snap to grids' function which gets in your way and may be very annoying. when arranging boxes press Command while moving them. uncheck ‘object causes wrap' in Wrap Inspector, otherwise the boxes will interfere with each other and letters will disappear. I've tried out the technique with 'rue des Pages', a real street in the town of Flers, Normandy (see picture in the side-bar and this earlier post).

The idea is to put each letter in its own text box and then arrange the boxes in a curving line.

A reader suggested how to curve small amounts of text for design purposes, like for instance, an address.
