KM4RT Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thought I'd ask here.... I want to add a section of text to fit inside a shape. ie so you can read it fully left to right. I don't want to cut out a section of text like this, Previously I've done this manually by inserting spaces, tabs, enter, etc. and getting the text to fit. But this is time consuming, and what I'm trying to do is a bit complicated. Is there a way it can be done automatically? In Photoshop, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny ballbags Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 create/outline a shape in AI or PS and with the shape selected use "paste into" (obviously copying your text from another source/layer first)......... text will fill in your shape........ im rusty as hell b/c i havent used a lot of text in any designs for quite a while, but im pretty sure im right or close to it....... too lazy/busy to test my theory at the moment..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
