well... personally i don't think page layouts should be done in photoshop. you should do it in a page layout program like... indesign or quark. those would be optimal, and could easily achieve that effect. if you don't have those, you can use illustrator make a path closed text shape... and type into that shape. i never do text in photoshop... but i don't think that you can fill text into a shape like that in it, you'll have to manually position everything.

Many thanks, but if i try to do this in In Design, it can be done easily right?

Yes... it's very ez. Place the object you want... whatever it is... say for instance we use a X (as in the example), graphic from an Illustrator document. After you get it imported go ahead and scale it the way you want, place it where you want. Open up the text wrap palette CMD+OPTION+W/CTRL+ALT+W (you can also find it in the Windows menu option). While the graphic you want the text to wrap around is selected choose the middle option in your text wrap palette, and in the drop down box select detect edges. Next take a text box w/ your text in it... lay it over it and viola... it'll wrap around your text. You can also make custom shapes and place text in them too which will help the over run, in cases like the X.

Sometimes the edges that it detects are kinda funky... say for example a vector EPS from Illustrator... well since it doesn't have a clipping path persay... you can create one on it. Select your image... CMD+OPTION+SHIFT+K/CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+K, to bring up the clipping path. Adjust the tollerance as you see fit... and instead of using detect edges, use the clipping path option... that's it.

Many thanks my friend, don't know how to say thanks. I saved my life today.
I did it in Illustarator but i'm going to learn to use InDesign, end do all this kind of stuff in InDesign.

Many thanks also for your time in explaining me.
