Once you apply an envelope, you can continue to edit the original objects. At any time you 
can also edit, delete, or expand an envelope. 
Creating envelopes
You can create an envelope from three sources: the topmost selected object, a preset 
warp shape, or a mesh. You can edit any of these envelopes at any time.
To make an envelope with a preset warp shape:
Select the object or group of objects, and choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make 
with Warp.
Choose a warp style from the Style pop-up menu, and then specify the options you 
want. (See 
To make an envelope with a mesh:
Select the object or group in the artwork, and choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make 
with Mesh.
Specify the number of Rows and Columns that you want the mesh to contain. Then 
click OK.
To make an envelope with a path:
Select the object or group you want to distort and the path you want to use as the 
envelope. Make sure the envelope path is topmost in the stacking order.
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object.
Note: To apply a stroke or fill to an envelope, use the Appearance palette. See 
Editing envelopes
When you create an envelope, Illustrator groups the envelope and the original artwork. 
You can edit either the envelope or the artwork, but not both at the same time. 
When editing text inside an envelope, turn on Smart Guides to help while typing.
To edit the original art in an envelope:
Select the envelope, and choose Object > Envelope Distort > Edit Contents. The Layers 
palette displays a small triangle to the left of the <Envelope> entry so that you can access 
the contents. (See 
.)
Note: When you modify the contents of an envelope, the envelope shifts to recenter the 
results with the original content. 
To return to the original editing mode, choose Object > Envelope Distort > Edit Envelope.
To modify the shape of a warp or mesh envelope:
Select the envelope in the artwork. (If necessary, choose Object > Envelope Distort > 
Edit Envelope.)
Do one of the following:
Select the envelope in the artwork, and choose Object > Envelope Distort > Reset with 
Mesh or Reset with Warp. Select Maintain Envelope Shape to keep the outer shape
