I don’t want the text to follow a path. I want the text to justify along a path.

Sounds like you want a Text Wrap.

– click and drag with the type tool to make your text box
– in the Paragraph palette, turn on Full Justification
– select the path you want the text to justfiy to, go to Object > Text Wrap > Make Text Wrap
– you’ll get a dialog box where you can set the width of the buffer around the object.

In Photoshop CS???

[Kim Mackenzie]

Assumed you were setting type in Illustrator, to which the above instructions apply.

I don’t know of a way to do that in Photoshop.

Thanks! Working with Illustrator CS and it is great! Didn’t realize I could open a Photoshop file and access my text. Cool!!! Thanks for your help!!!
