Hi all,

I need to do a text fill but i cant do letters or numbers with spaces within them e.g. "O"

Please see the attachment...i need to do a text fill on a "0" with about 40 names but i cant get illustrator to fill without it filling the full shape of the numbers, if that makes sense. I know this is something easy but i always seem to do things the hard way!!!!

any help is good ....argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
thanks
Dave

When I did a couple before Xmas I just manipulated and moved each name by hand (took hours) and I said to myself I would find an easier way to do it.

I was looking at the 'text fill to a shape' option but I never got around to it (i.e create a shape of the number you want).

This video explains what I mean:

I can see how this would be possible in Coreldraw but not sure how in the software you're using.

Ive been hoping someone would explain how its done as its an interesting effect. How is it done in Coreldraw, Justin?

and paul also showed on here not so long ago i think with one of his tutorials

Yeah. I did a video some time a go but can not find this now. I may do it again and put all m videos in one tread so it will be easier to find them.

Thanks Mrs Maggot, Ive been using Corel for 19 years and I never learnt how to do that , its so simple.
