Okay, is there a way in PSPX to get the journaling effect like Gina has in her Path of Possibilities LO seen here?

Just wondering if it's some sort of plug-in or what. I love it. I HAVE to have it

I found a seperate program that will do a small amount of text into a shape, but nothing like this.

It is possible, but pretty tough and required some trial and error!

Here is an example of how it could be done and the pro's and con's of doing it.

Well I was playing this morning and even though it is not easy but since I love to play with text on a path I was drawing out some straight lines with the pen tool. To make them equal and easier turn on your grids and adjust the spacing to match what you would like you text height to roughly be. Also turn on snap to grid, grab your pen tool set to a straight line, turn off your background color (Null) and then draw out your lines as many as you think you will need. When you are done click apply and select your text tool, hover it over the first line at the begininng until it turns into that little "A" with the curved line under it and click, turn off your Wrap Text. Start typing, you will have to have a lot of patience with this as it is not easy, but sort of fun to see it work. Some of the lines will have many "enters" to make the text justify other lines you will need to actually connect yourwords likethis so that theystart out right on the line below without spaces starting the line.
If I had ONE wish for PSP is that Corel would give us the option and ability to have justified text, or to wrap it to a flag, arch ect. like you can in Word. Since PSP started out as a digital imaging, photo manipulation software it was not needed but hopefully now with the huge growth of scrapbooking and digital designing they will give it to us in the next version!!
Cross our fingers!!
