Specifically, we'll fill a single letter with an entire paragraph of text so that the text appears in the shape of the letter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Here's the effect we're going for:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-text-inside-text.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop text inside text effect.

Choose the size you want for your document. I'll set mine to a <strong>6 x 4 inch<\/strong> document, but you can use whichever size you need. Since I want this to look good when I print it, I'll set my <strong>Resolution<\/strong> to <strong>300 pixels\/inch<\/strong>. Make sure the <strong>Background Contents<\/strong> option is set to <strong>White<\/strong>, then click OK when you're done to create your new document:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-new-document.gif\" alt=\"The New Document dialog box in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"596\" height=\"340\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose a size, resolution and background color for your new Photoshop document.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 2: Select The  Type Tool<\/h4>\n<p>Next, in order to add our text, we need to <strong>Type Too<\/strong>l. Grab it from the Tools palette or press the letter <strong>T<\/strong> on your keyboard to select it with the shortcut:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-type-tool.gif\" alt=\"The Type Tool in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"72\" height=\"149\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select Photoshop's Type Tool.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 3: Select Your Font From The Options Bar<\/h4>\n<p>With the  Type Tool selected, go up to the <strong>Options Bar<\/strong> at the top of the screen and choose your font. Since we're going to be using a letter as a container for more text, try to choose a font with thick letters. I'll use <strong>Arial Black<\/strong>. Don't worry about the size for now. We'll resize the text as needed in a moment:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-options-bar.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a font in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"718\" height=\"66\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose a font from the Options Bar, preferably one with thick letters.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 4: Type A Letter Into The Document<\/h4>\n<p>Click anywhere inside your Photoshop document and type a letter to use as a container for the rest of your text. I'll type \"T\" since it's a nice, simple shape.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 5: Use Free Transform To Resize The Letter As Needed<\/h4>\n<p>If you need to resize your letter, press <strong>Ctrl+T<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+T<\/strong> (Mac) to bring up Photoshop's <strong>Free Transform<\/strong> box and handles around the letter, then drag any of the handles (the little squares) to resize it. To avoid accidentally distorting to look of the letter as you resize it, hold down your <strong>Shift<\/strong> key as you drag the handles. If you want to resize the letter from its center, hold down the <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key as well:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/free-transform-letter.gif\" alt=\"Resizing the letter with Free Transform in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"287\" height=\"460\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Resize the letter as needed with Photoshop's Free Transform command.<\/div>\n<p>Press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) when you're done to accept the transformation and exit out of the Free Transform command.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 6: Create A Path From The Type<\/h4>\n<p>With the Type Tool still selected, <strong>right-click<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option-click<\/strong> (Mac) anywhere inside the document to bring up a sub menu of options for the text. We need to convert our letter into a path which we can use as a container for the rest of our text, so select <strong>Create Work Path<\/strong> from the sub menu:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/create-work-path.gif\" alt=\"The Create Work Path option in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"213\" height=\"193\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Create a work path from the letter.<\/div>\n<p>Depending on the color you're using for your text, you may or may not notice an outline around the letter once you've created the path. The outline is the path, and if you can't see it right now, you'll definitely see it in a moment.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 7: Hide The Type Layer<\/h4>\n<p>If you didn't notice the path around your letter after you selected \"Create Work Path\", you'll notice it after this step because we're going to hide the text layer from view since we no longer need to see it. On the far left of the text layer in the Layers palette is an eyeball icon. This is the <strong>Layer Visibility<\/strong> icon, but most people just refer to it as the &quot;eyeball&quot;. When the eyeball is showing, the layer is visible in the document, and when it's not showing, the layer is hidden. Currently, the eyeball is showing, which is why we can see the letter in the document. Click on the eyeball icon with your mouse, which will not only hide the eyeball, it will hide the text in the document as well:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-layer-visibility-icon.gif\" alt=\"The Layer Visibility icon in the Layers palette in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"317\" height=\"224\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hide the letter from view in the document by clicking on its visibility icon in the Layers palette.<\/div>\n<p>You can click back inside the empty box where the eyeball icon was displayed to make the layer visible again.<\/p>\n<p>With the text hidden, only the path we created a moment ago is now visible:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/text-path.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop work path around the text. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"270\" height=\"287\" style=\"padding-bottom:6px;\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The text is now hidden, revealing the path we created from the text.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 8: Click Inside The Path, But Don't Type Just Yet <\/h4>\n<p>Our path is now visible, and we're going to use it as a container for our text. We just need to add the text! With the  Type Tool still selected, move your mouse cursor anywhere inside the path. You'll see the shape of your cursor change from an I-beam with a dotted square around it to an I-beam with a dotted elliptical shape around it, indicating that if you click the mouse and start typing, you'll be typing inside the path, which is exactly what we want. Go ahead and click anywhere inside the path, but don't start typing just yet.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 9: Change Your Font And\/Or Font Size If Necessary<\/h4>\n<p>You're probably going to want to reduce the size of your font before you start typing, so before you actually type anything, go up to the Options Bar and set your font size to something more appropriate. I'll set mine to 36 pt. You may want to change the font as well. I'll change mine to Arial, rather than Arial Black which is what I used for the letter itself:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/change-font-and-size.gif\" alt=\"Changing the font and font size in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"714\" height=\"47\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change your font and font size in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 10: Select \"Justify All\" From The Paragraph Palette<\/h4>\n<p>There's one more thing we're going to want to do before we start typing. We want to set the text justification to <strong>Justify All<\/strong> so that the text will fill up our shape from left to right. We can access the justification options from the <strong>Paragraph<\/strong> palette. If you don't already have the Paragraph palette open on your screen, with the Type Tool still selected, go up to the Options Bar and click on the <strong>Character and Paragraph palette toggle button<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/character-paragraph-toggle.gif\" alt=\"The Character and Paragraph toggle icon in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"560\" height=\"53\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Character and Paragraph palette toggle button in the Options Bar to access Photoshop's Character and Paragraph palettes.<\/div>\n<p>By default, Photoshop groups the Character and Paragraph palettes together in the same palette group, both because they work as a team and to save screen space. If the Character palette is the one showing, simply click on the Paragraph palette's name tab at the top of the palette group to bring it to the forefront and send the Character palette to the background. With the Paragraph palette selected, click the <strong>Justify All<\/strong> option in the upper right of the palette. This will make sure that our text fills as much of the letter as possible:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/text-justify-all.gif\" alt=\"The Justify All option in the Paragraph palette in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"224\" height=\"182\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click the \"Justify All\" option in the Paragraph palette.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 11: Type Your Text Inside The Path<\/h4>\n<p>All that's left to do now is add our text inside the letter. Go ahead and start typing, and as you do, you'll see your text filling the inside of the letter:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/typing-in-letter.gif\" alt=\"Typing inside the letter. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"342\" height=\"364\"  style=\"padding-bottom:6px;\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Begin typing inside the letter. As you type, the text conforms to the shape of the original letter.<\/div>\n<p>Continue typing until your letter is filled with text.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/letter-filled-with-text.gif\" alt=\"The letter filled with text in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"342\" height=\"364\" style=\"padding-bottom:6px;\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">My letter \"T\" is now filled with text.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 12: Click On The Checkmark To Accept The Text<\/h4>\n<p>When you're done adding your text, click on the <strong>checkmark<\/strong> in the Options Bar to accept it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/checkmark.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the checkmark in the Options Bar in Photoshop. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"443\" height=\"52\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Accept your text by clicking on the checkmark in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<h4>Step 13: Hide The Path<\/h4>\n<p>With the text added, all that's left to do now is hide the path, and we can do that easily with the keyboard shortcut <strong>Ctrl+H<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+H<\/strong> (Mac). And with that, we're done! Here's the final result, with the text in the shape of a letter T:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/type\/text-inside-text\/new\/photoshop-text-inside-text.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop text inside text effect. Image &copy; 2008 Photoshop Essentials.com.\" width=\"338\" height=\"350\" style=\"padding-bottom:6px;\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final result. The shape of the original letter is still visible thanks to the text inside of it.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<h3>Where to go next...<\/h3>\n<p>And that's how easy it is to convert a letter into a path and use it as a container for more text in Photoshop!
