creating text on path AND inside shape?

[cloetzu]

Hello,

I was trying to create some text in SCAL2 along a path but my SCAL2 isn't showing that third option on the Text button? Any ideas why?

Also I wanted to create text inside shapes - similar to this: http://www.deedoos-digital-scrapbooking ... hStar.html but she doesn't have the shapes I want. I have Photoshop CS5 and was hoping someone had an idea of how to do somethign like that in CS5, SCAL2 or Inkscape?

UPDATED: Have tried this since posting and it works!

***************

Right after posting I found this : http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... -Flow.html It shows how to create text and put it inside and FILL the space of the shape!

Haven't tried it but it looks pretty easy!

If anyone has as Photoshop version/instructions please let me know.

For inscape you use the path/reverse option..

SCAL can't fill a shape with text, but, yes, it's easy in Inkscape.
