Hi ...

I want to fill the inside of this shape with horizontal lines of text - left to right - but following the left inside edge of the shape.

So that the shape will be filled with lines of text following the arrow created by this shape.

How do I do that?

thanks

Debra

You can set your lines of text, rotate the text 90 degrees clockwise, and make your shape (make sure the shape is on top). With both text and shape selected, go to Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object. Illustrator will adjust your lines of text to fit within the shape.
