Nihilism

Thank you both very much. I guess I'm not quite as stupid as I feared. I was aware of the Mesh Warp but thought there might be a vector way to do it. It also explains why I couldn't do it in ADv1. Have a very merry <insert appropriate holiday> and Happy New Year! 🧑‍🎄

Okay I'm just a hobbyist and mostly use Photo (v2 now)for touching up my photos, but I'm trying to make some Xmas cards and running into a problem. I want to fit words into a manually created shape as shown in the picture and would like the word to auto-fit to fill the shape. So in the example the M would be large enough to reach from one curved line to the next below it, and then the E (to the right) would be smaller but still go from top curved line to the bottom curved line and so on to fill the rest of the shape. I'm having difficulties first of all pasting the text into the curved shape. It always seems to appear somewhere on the outside and all the same size no matter where I click. I've tried converting the shape to curves, and converting to text frame without success. I think that should be a basic function or fairly easily achieved and my google and forum searches haven't turned up anything to match this question, but maybe I'm missing something really obvious. I do have Designer v1 but didn't see a way to achieve this in there either. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Peter

BTW, I did eventually find what I was looking for in the FAQs however I still think it should be easier to find.

I'm a new user and loving the programmes but one small suggestion about your website would be to make it easier to find version update information for each one of the suite. Today when I started the app I was informed there was an update available and provided a link to download it. Great, but when I tried to find what was new the only thing I was able to find was at the bottom of the Technical Specs which had NEW items scattered throughout it but I doubt all those items related to going from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3. I did look through the MENU, LEARN, FAQs and each applications page, but without any luck. I could be dense, or not British enough to intuitively follow whatever logic has placed location version histories wherever they may be found but, regardless, I think it should be a little easier. Anyway, just an idea. Thanks for your great work.
