and
that made up the text-path. Note that any line styles that were applied to the path before combining it with the text area will be lost, and the resulting path will use the default styles with the line colour the same as the text colour from the text-path and no fill colour.

For example, in Figure 8.34 the text area and path in Figure 8.34(a) are combined to form the text-path in Figure 8.34(b). The text-path is the separated into a group containing a text area and a path. Note that the new path has lost the line style shown in Figure 8.34(a) and is now the same colour as the text.
