Different size text in a shape/view shape/layers...help!

Hi all, I am trying to work with a heart shape and I am having problems. I know how to write in it to make it the same shape but I am trying to get a heart outline, which I can remove when the text is done, but I want to add words as new layers so I can move them and free transform them into the heart so I can have a big tall word and a short fat word for example. I tried to just make the font bigger on certain words but it effected the gap between the lines obviosuly. I'm not sure how to describe it and the 'add image' thing is not letting me add one to show you so here is a link to show the sort of thing I mean....http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/love_quiz/
I feel I am making it more confusing....?! Basically, I want to free transform words (each a different  layer) into the shape of a heart but when I try to do this, it puts the word on the same layer as the heart, or if I do manage to get a word on a different layer, when I go to free transform, I cant see the heart layer so cant see what I am doing. Hope this makes sense, any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.  Thank you xx

When adding words, to start it is better to click away from the heart as it can assume you want the heart path to be a bounding box for the text, (think of a paragraph of all one size formed to that shape)
Then you can drag the text over top of the heart and format it as you wish.

  • Portfolio pdf- why is text in different sizes on each page of pdf?

    Even though i have saved my images with text (always  font size 12) as the same size (eg. 10in x 10in at 100ppi),  each time i save the images as a pdf the pdf then has all different size text from image to image-  a complete mess as a portfolio.
    Also when i then changed the size of the image and saved it as a copy, both images and text stay the same size!  though both the ppi and scale differ in each images....
    How do i change this? any tips appreciated!

    You can't write directly in PDF from Output Module, only add a header or
    footer text but that will repeat itself each page.
    You could try so in an app like Word or if you have Pages or other design
    application it would be possible to make your own layout and text and from
    there save as PDF.
    You can also try in PS, just create a template frame (new file) big enough
    to paste the images in and with space around including more at the bottom
    where you add the text you want. On the frame put a text layer and the file
    layer for the image by either drag and drop or copy paste. Resize the image
    till it fits in the frame
    You cans resize the image on the template layer to fit in the frame as you
    like and save as new files.
    Now you have same sized frame with same ppi and font size.
    With this files selected in Bridge in the order you want choose Output
    Module with option for paper size, landscape or portrait, background color.
    Choose 1 column and 1 row including auto space, deselect filename and
    extension and also deselect header and footer if thy are not so already
    (unless you want some text and page numbers)
    I created the images in photoshop and then  i use the bridge adobe output
    module- the pdf is a multiple page document with one image per page which
    has text written beneath the image -
    as in  the image is saved with a frame with title/text.
    Is there a way of writing individual text directly onto each pdf page
    instead of the image? perhaps this will solve the issue of differing text
    sizes....?

  • Why can I export (and import)the different sizes that I put in the "Responsive Design View"?

    Hello
    I have troubles when try to import or export the different sizes of the Responsive Design View, I manage at least 13, and it's a little preposterous to add one by one. There are a method that export/import them?
    Thanks

    There is a way to store custom settings for responsive design.
    You can create custom settings in the responsive design mode window.
    You can hold down the Shift key and drag the borders via the (right border, bottom border, bottom right corner) resize icons to get specific dimensions and give the current custom setting a name to add them as a preset.
    This will add the preset to the <b>devtools.responsiveUI.presets</b> pref that you can inspect on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Those settings are stored in JSON format.
    <pre><nowiki>[{"key":"360x640","width":360,"height":640},{"key":"768x1024","width":768,"height":1024},{"key":"800x600","name":"8x6","width":800,"height":600},{"key":"800x1280","width":800,"height":1280},{"key":"980x1280","width":980,"height":1280},{"key":"1280x600","width":1280,"height":600},{"key":"1920x900","width":1920,"height":900}]</nowiki></pre>
    See this thread for some JavaScript code to add extra sizes:
    *[[/questions/957590]]
    You can paste the existing JSON value of the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref in the prompt and click OK.
    Extra values can be added by typing its dimensions (<width>x<height> <name>).
    You can paste the resulting JSON value back to the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref or save it.

    Hi Mr. JP
    I followed the thread of Mr.G.Laxmipathi but this solution is not clear, he told check in "OMJJ" whether it is optional or required, but he didn't mention what we need keep either required or optional and also in FS00 whether we need to put any number in field status group or not or whether we have to check automatic posting or not.
    Kindly give your input on this
    Thanks and Regards

  • Adding text to a shape

    I need to make 400 small circles with different 3pt text in each.
    How do I add text to a circle please? Also will I be able to open the final result with Microsoft word to print at all?
    Thank you

    You have text wrap set on your shapes and the shapes are too close together so the top one is pushing the text of the others out of the shape.
    Turn Text Wrap off.

  • Getting the text and the shape to play at the same time in Keynote '08

    Searched FAQ without any luck. I put text into a shape. When 'played' however, the text comes in on first click, and shape on the second click. I would like both to enter slide simultaneously. How can I accomplish this ??
    THanks Fred

    Hi Fred,
    There are two ways to achieve this. Firstly you can group the two objects and they will then appear at that same time once you select a build for the group.
    You can use the Build inspector to do the same. Once you've chosen the build for the two objects click on the More Options button at the bottom. Select one of the objects (most likley listed as 'Text' and 'Shape' and chose from the Start Build sub menu 'Automatically with build X' where build X is the number of the build of the first object.

  • How do you select text behind a shape in Pages 5.0?

    I created a document in Pages 4.x in which I used rectangle outline shapes to create nice custom borders both for the page itself and for some contents in the body of document. (I've used text boxes before, but for this particular document the shapes worked much better and allowed for a look I couldn't achieve with text boxes.) Unfortunately, since updating to Pages 5.0, I can no longer select text within the shape spaces. In order to select and/or edit that text, I either have to delete the shapes first, or move them so that I can click inside the body of the document, and then use the arrows to get to the text I need to edit. This is very time-consuming. Is there an easier way to select text in the body of the document without having to move/delete the overlapping shape? This was easy to do in Pages 4.

    Pablo,
    Making the Shape or Text Box a Section Master will put it behind the text without having to delete or move it.
    Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master
    and
    Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Page

  • Text in a shape doesn't line up, is it a bug?

    I created a triangular shape, and then double-clicked to add text within that shape.  The strange things is some of the text (generally along the 45 degrees angle) is either slightly above or below the baseline of the text (see image below).  Anyone know if this is just a bug or is there something I can do to fix this?  Any help is greatly appreciated otherwise I'll be forced to use Adobe's Indesign which is overkill for this project.  Thanks in advance.
    Ps.  I'm using the latest Pages v4.3 (1048) and OSX 10.8.4.

    No baseline shift on that text?
    Have you experimented with changing the text around to see if this is truely a localised effect?
    We can't see the overall shape to see what is going on.
    I'd love to see the original file (click on my blue name and email me) to check whether this actually a bug or merely a consequence of the Design/Layout.

  • Why is the text different sizes?

    Hi,
    The text with this browser shows different sizes of text on a web page? Some is normal, then some is tiny. I you pinch the page up to read the tiny text, the normal text goes very large. It ruins reading a web page. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do about it? It is particularly difficult when on a forum.
    Thankyou.

    Hello,
    Try change the minimum text size in your firefox:

  • Jagged Edges on Text & Shape Layers

    Hi there,
    I've been experimenting with creating 3D logos, text and shape layers with AE CS6 by using the "shatter" effect. I have noticed that curved letters (like "S") or curved shapes are jagged, even when rendered in full quality (see attached image).
    Is this due to a setting in After Effects? How can I smooth this? I have experimented with Ray Trace as an alternative way to extrude, but with only 8GB of RAM I am unable to render out sufficiently high quality 3D text or layers in enough time.
    Thanks.

    It's a limitation in the technique you are employing. As Rick said, make the text as big as you possibly can, then scale it down again after the effect is applied.

  • Placing text inside curved shape

    i am having bit trouble placing the text inside this custom shape (i used custom shape tool)
    I followed one of the post found here Fitting text inside a custom shape but i couldn't get any results at all. Would someone maybe try to give me exact instructions on how to do this please.
    I would like to place this text inside yellow shape and text should follow the curved path of the shape.

    It's easier to apply the flag warp to both the Type and Shape layers at the same time, so start with your text, and create the shape layer below it.  Select both layers, and right click and choose Convert to Smart Object.  Then Free Transform > Warp

  • Putting text in a shape vs in a text box on top of a shape

    I want to put text in a shape (eg a rectangle). You can put text directly in the shape, or you can put text in a text box on top of the shape. I am interested in the pros and cons of these two methods.
    It seems to me that putting it directly in the shape is better (if you are going to fill the shape with text). I don't see that using a text box adds any functionality.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks
    bob

    Put the text directly into the shape. Anyway, putting a text box into a shape does not work, I don't think. You can place shapes within shapes, but not text boxes.

  • Where to locate Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator in Boris ?

    My FCE4 installation disc comes with Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
    I printed out the pdf file of Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
    In it, there are chapters on Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator but how do I access this Generator in FCE4 ? I can only see Title3D Generator and Title Crawl Generator.
    Thanks

    I don't know of any such generators that come with FCE. Perhaps Boris included the documentation so if you like Title3D and Title Crawl then you will purchase the newer generators. I am pretty sure that the others you mention aren't included with FCE4.
