In a recent project in Illustrator I was creating freeform paths to place text on them. Since the design was freeform I kept running into a problem where I would create a path, place the text on it, then realize that the text didn't fully fit on the path or the path needed to be tweaked slightly to make the text look right. However, once I placed the text on the path I found that I couldn't modify the path's anchor points anymore.

Is it possible to modify an text path's anchor points once you have placed text on it? Or do I have to undo the text on a path action, modify the line, and then place the text back on it?

Using the Direct selection tool () you can click on the path after you've placed your text and edit the curves and nodes as much as you'd like.
