In a previous tutorial, we went over how to fill a shape with text by modifying the size and orientation of that text. Check out that tutorial here.
But in this part 2 tutorial on filling shapes with text, I am going to show how to make it so your text flows into the shape — think of it like making a text box the exact size of your shape. Enjoy!
Thank You
Hi Erica. I have a question for you. I am trying to put the lyrics to a song inside of a heart. I am assuming it would be the same concept as this tutorial. I have the lyrics all typed out. I select the heart and the lyrics together. Click on text > flow into frame. When I do this, it puts the words in a heart shape, but the heart is upside down … If I am thinking right, it has something to do with the path of the heart? I tried doing a Path > reverse and now the lyrics are upside down and mirrored and the heart shape is still upside down…Any suggestions?
Try selecting just the heart and doing Path > Object to Path before the step where you put the text inside and see if that helps.
Hey Erica, I am trying to do the opposite. Can you put shapes into letters? for example, Can I add tiny circles into the letters TF (college bold font)?
What do you mean by tiny circles? If you email me with more info I may be able to help
