Wrapping text within a selection or shape

To wrap text inside a selection or a vector shape

You can wrap text inside a selection or a vector shape. For example, you can draw a closed shape with the Freehand Selection tool by tracing along a silhouette in a photo and fill the selection with text or you can draw a heart with the Preset Shape Tool and fill the shape with text.

You can wrap text inside a selection (top) or inside a vector shape (bottom).
