I want to achieve an effect as if text is filling the segments of a dartboard.  So the text path would be curved and fill the segment running towards the centre.  If you picture the black 20 segement of a dartboard the text should fit that shape but follow the curve.

In other words it is as if there is a piece of pie and it the shape gets filled from the large outer edge in a curve moving onto the next line running towards the centre.

Hopefully you can picture what I mean.

I know how to fill a shape in InDesign.  However the text would be in straight lines rather than following the curves of the pie shape.

Does anyone know if what I want is possible with InDesign and how.  If it is not, what is the way to do it on, say Illustrator?

Thank you for any help!

Claire
