i'm not sure if this is in the right section but here it goes

am making an ad and i want to have text going around the border...to do this i have made four separate text boxes (left, right, top, bottom)...this leaves me with gaps at the corners...is there anyway to make one text box that would wrap completely around?...i am currently using CS3 but if none of those programs can do this i am willing to get another program...thanks in advance

Ryan,

How about text along a line in Illustrator? For specific questions, why not ask in the Illustrator forum? But even if you are using four text boxes in some other application -- you should be able to partially overlap them to eliminate gaps.

In Illustrator and recent versions of Photoshop you can produce text on a path and this will do what you want.

Then don't do it. Professionals will seldom have text upside down and at all different angles.

Don,

Generally, I agree. But remember that professionals also know "the rules" well enough to know how to successfully break them! <g>
