<br>
Steps:<br>
<br>
1. Write your text. Add a lot of text, more than you might need, just to se=
e the effect.<br>
2. Add a circular path, centered in the scene.<br>
3. Open text properties and set the Path dropdown to the circular path. The=
 text is now on the circle, and you want enough text to loop around the cir=
cle a few times.<br>
4. Turn on the 3D switch for the layer.<br>
5. Use the rotate tool or the rotation controls on the layer to rotate the =
layer away from you along the x axis. The text should now look like it is i=
n a circle, on the &quot;floor&quot;.<br>
Under the text properties, choose the &quot;animate&quot; flyout and choose=
 &quot;enable per-character 3D&quot;. Then go back to the same flyout and c=
hoose &quot;rotation&quot;. Adjust the Animator 1 rotation property to 90 o=
n the x axis. Your text should now be &quot;standing up&quot;.<br>

6. Deselect Animator 1 (important).<br>
7. Go back to the &quot;Animate&quot; flyout and this time choose &quot;pos=
ition&quot;. This will create a new &quot;Animator 2&quot;. Adjust the posi=
tion inside to a negative z position... I chose -500 for my example.<br>

8. Go into Animator 2-&gt;Range Selector-&gt;Advanced and set the &quot;sha=
pe&quot; popup to &quot;ramp up&quot;. Your text should now be a nice helix=
 shape.<br>
9. Once you have the slope the way you like it, go back into Animator 1 and=
 adjust the z rotation to orient the text properly along the path.<br>
10. Animate to taste.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
