I have a (what may seem to some of you as stupid) question about illustrator.
How do I set type around an object so that the type begins and breaks when it touches the object and continues on the other side of the object? I have seen it in magazines but never could figure it out.

You can't type within a compound path. It works fine if I create a mask and typ in the mask but then I am typing within the object and not around it.

hm... seems like one of our old school projects involved this.
i know that it can be done, but i can;t for the life of me remember how we did it.
seemed like it was a bit of a pain in the ass.
sorry i cant help more. it is easy to do in quark, but quark can suck my b@77s if ya can dig that.

select the path type tool. click on the line or object you want to wrap your text around. type.
to flip the text inside your object, select the direct selection tool, grab text and flip.(this is not very precise but does the trip to flip the text.)
I hope this is what your talking about.
