Sorry I am the supposed moderator down in the bowels of Talkgraphics hidden away and at the moment I have got so many jobs on. Sorry I am here to help not moan.

The easiest way to do it is to use the mesh tool and play around with the anchor points until you get the effect that you want. Please remember all you have to do to get help is to press F1 then click on the search Tab and type Mesh Tool then click on any of the topics that come up to get help. Try typing in Text Envelope and have a look at that. The last two you could have a look at is Text Wraping, that is when you fill a shape with text and the other is Text on a Line, that is text will follow a line or path, as Adobe calls it. Also do have a read still in the help area on Creating a Mask. Once you have a read at all of these topics and had a play around to see if you can get the right effect come back please and we can give some more support. Last thing, if you are using the mesh tool please remember you can delete Anchor Points.
