not done it for a while, and a bit rusty - i need to insert a block of words into a shape, like the college type hoodies, anyone take me though it, ive been doing our accounts for 3 days solid, after finding a cock-up and my creative brain has shut down lol

I am working on it give me a few minutes and will take some screen shots
is this shape a number, letter or some basic shape??

[mrs maggot]

its a guitar !!!

[Paul]

lol i dont have vector guitar so if i show it to you as a example on the digit would it be ok??

[Paul]

ok. this is how i would do this:

draw your design, letters, digit or shape. thenclick right mouse button and convert to the curves


2.
choice a hair line


3.
change colour to transparent


4.
now pick text tool and slowely touch cursor to the line. if you tuch line you shoukld see A letter on th curve. if you go bit more inside the shape you should see AB inside the rectangle. clik it when you see AB in rectangle
Now you in


5.
now type whatever you like or paste your text



hope this help a little

I was trying but had then got no where - then i thought, silly when i went through your screen shots, the image i had was two line when you see it in outline - so it was trying to fit the text inbetween the 2 outline images lol, and i thought i was going mad only when i went through yours step by step it made sense
