Firstly we place a image on a layer to work in more stylish way and then above that layer we start writing on our text layer. ( to learn about layers go to Layers tutorials )Untitled

So here is our text written on a festive frames. Now we have to use understand wrap text and have to see its working on this text. So firstly see Style option in it, it has a drop down menu with a number of preset styles.

So many of us get confused with their working.
Firstly they have no link with horizontal and vertical distortion .These option means that your wrap will work horizontally or vertically on your text. WT (5)

Now coming to BEND option, It has a slider to change the values from -100 to 100.Basically it is use to set the amount of affect of style on your text, how much your arc have to be bend, positive value will increase the bend and negative value will make opposite effect of arc. Here in this image you can see how arc of text change with the value of 0 to 75. So it is just an example you can play with more styles and value of bend.WT (2)

Now come to Horizontal and Vertical Distortion. Don’t get mix with upper horizontal and vertical radio buttons and these distortion buttons. This has also no connection with bend, if your bend is “0” then also these distortion level will work.

So here how these options work?
Horizontal distortion will distort it or expand text horizontally and vertically will do in vertical direction, you can see difference in both images.
