How to edit the curve of an arch or bow

I swear it used to be possible to edit the curve of arched or bowed text so it could be a more gentle or more extreme curve. 

I can't find the option to edit it anywhere now - all I can find is letter spacing. 

 

Please someone put me out of my misery! I've tried both desktop and app.

Express has never supported the ability to change the degree of curvature for arch/bow layouts: they are always full semi-circles. A workaround is to add equal number of spaces before and after the text. See screenshot below.

You are 100% correct. There used to be a whole lot more options.
