That was great – no more switching over to InDesign for this! Thanks!

Hi Paul –

Good question. To get rid of the path lines just select a different layer, or hit command-H (view menu: extras hide/nohide)

How did you get rid of the path lines after adding the text?

I experimented with your method and found this:

1. Click on the surrounding area of the object you want to text-wrap with the magic wand
2. Go up to the file bar and click on “inverse” under the category “select”
3. Right-click inside the selected object and click “make work path” (a little bar will pop up asking you about the width of the path. the standard is 2.0 – that’s fine)
4. Click on the text tool and hover over the work path. the straight line will turn squiggly.
5. When you click the work path, just start typing. the text will automatically follow the work path

Oh wait, it does work when the cut-out is in a corner or on the side … any tips on allowing a cut-out in the middle like a doughnut?

Is there a reason this would not work with CS5? I created the shape correctly and pasted my text within the frame but the text will not avoid the cut-out part.

Hi! I have the same problem as Sergio. I can see the active path but whenever I put the text, it creates a different layer. I’m using Photoshop CE 7. I’m not sure if it has an entirely different command.

Thanks

Hi Sergio,
Is it possible you’re creating shapes and not shape paths or simply paths? As long as the shape you’ve made is a path, then the text tool should behave differently. Also it makes a difference whether you click inside the shape or on the border of the shape.
