Brian = this worked out great! The only issue I'm running in to is an odd flicker= on the letters but there's likely a workaround.=20

Thanks from me and anyone else reading this thread!

OK, Project here: http://we.tl/1r3IyH8FsK

Steps:

= 1. Write your text. Add a lot of text, more than you might need, just to= see the effect.
2. Add a circular path, centered in the scene.
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 = circle a few times.
4. Turn on the 3D switch for the layer.
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 in = a circle, on the "floor".
Under the text properties, choose the "animate= " flyout and choose "enable per-character 3D". Then go back to the same = flyout and choose "rotation". Adjust the Animator 1 rotation property to= 90 on the x axis. Your text should now be "standing up".
6. Deselect= Animator 1 (important).
7. Go back to the "Animate" flyout and this = time choose "position". This will create a new "Animator 2". Adjust the = position inside to a negative z position... I chose -500 for my example.8. Go into Animator 2->Range Selector->Advanced and set the "shape"= popup to "ramp up". Your text should now be a nice helix shape.
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.
10. Animate= to taste.

Good luck!

Brian
