repelling text to any shaped object

[wizard509]

gpholman posted a tutorial on repelling text to any shaped object.
I have tried this many times but so far cannot get it to work for me.
Have any of you tried this method and if so did it work for you? What am I doing wrong I wonder.

Here is his tutorial. Sorry I cannot find his original post for this. Thank you for the tutorial gpholman, can you please help?
I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. when I repel I might get a few lines but everything else either does not show or is moved way down the page and is ghosted out. I will try again and post a sample so you can see the problem I am having.
