Draw a mask that follows the shape of the path you want them to follow. Make a keyframe and paste it into the position parameter of each of your words. Offset their in points in time and preview. All follow the same path sequentially.

I have a logo supplied to me as an Illustrator file. The logo is four words, and they've been customized (reshaped some characters) and converted to paths.
I'm wanting the words to move across the screen following a wavy path. Easy to do if I could just type it in, but I can't since they've been modified.
So how do I move these paths on a AE path as if they were AE text? Do I have to bring in each letter path individually? Or is there a way to use the entire group?

Thanks for any help.
