 |

Hi I need to know if it is possible to have two shapes and type from one shape to the other shape inside. This means that when one shape is full it will move to the top left corner of the other shape.

Sorry to say, there isn't a way to do this automatically.
If you want to use Photoshop to do this the easiest way is either use the text tool and drag a box for the 1st column type in there and cut/paste the overflowing text in the 2nd and then repeat for the first. If you really used shapes you can actually use the shapes' paths for a typebox speeding up the process slightly.
It works and it gets the result that your after, the only, and quite big, downside to this is that when editing the text after splitting it up in columns will most likely result in having it to fit and split up again.
By my knowledge, the only Adobe program that allows text flows like this to be done properly is InDesign.
Grtz, R.

Is there by any chance a free version of this plugin? Seems silly to have to pay for a feature that should exist already in photoshop. |

Wouldn't know and I'd say it's going to be way harder to find a proper decent one than it is to pay the 4 bucks.
Most useful plugins are paid, even if the feature should be in PS by default to most's opinion.
