How to Use the Adobe Illustrator Type Tools
By Eric Miller, About.com
Unlike the area type tool that constrains text within a path, the “type on a path tool” keeps text on a path. Start by creating a path using the pen tool. Then, select the type on a path tool from the toolbar. Click on the path to bring up a blinking cursor, and any text you type will remain on the line (and curves) of the path.
