![]() Draw any shape you like on your path, and then return to step 6. Of course, if you know how to draw with the Pen tool, you aren’t limited to the Custom Shapes. When you hover over the path, your cursor turns into a circle, indicating that if you click you will be able to start typing into the path. (If you want, you can manipulate the path with the Direct Selection tool.) Here is how it is done: Adding Text to a Rectangle This is a very handy procedure if you have to constrain text to specific boundaries in a design for a poster or Web site layout. The shape can be as simple as a standard rectangle or a complicated custom shape. In this case, I chose Banners and Awards, then clicked Append . One of the cool features of Photoshop is the ability to fill a shape with text. ![]() This will place a bounding box around the selected layer/object. You should now be able to click into the text and see a bounding box that can be resized without resizing or rescaling the text inside. With the layer active, goto Type > Convert to Paragraph text. ![]() Select and activate the layer that contains your text from the layers palette. If you want to see all of them, click All and Append. Use Ctrl + T for Windows or Command+T for Mac to activate Free Transform. You need to make the text 'paragraph text'. Click the little gear in the top right corner and add some more shapes.Open the Shape menu from the middle to right side of the Options bar.With the type layer selected in the Layers palette, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to bring up the Free Transform handles around the text: Press 'Ctrl+T' (Win) / 'Command+T' (Mac) to access the Free Transform handles. Pick Path from the drop down menu on the left side of the Options bar. To do that, well use Photoshops Free Transform command.Some people either don’t have either of those two applications, or they haven’t gotten around to learning them yet, but they are using Photoshop. When I need to add text inside a custom shape, I would reach for either InDesign or Illustrator.

Then I'm going to hold down my Shift key to constrain my selection to a perfect circle and I'm going to hold down my Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key to tell Photoshop to use the point I'm about to click on as the center of my selection, so the selection extends out in all directions from that point.
