Hello, I'm basically trying to create a clipping mask in Indesign with the same effect in Photoshop. What I want to do is take multiple typed out text lines, and place an image inside the text. I want to be able to place the image in the text lines, but I want to be able to move the image around once it is inside the text. I also want the image to be the shape of the text, so the only part of the image showing is inside the text. Is this possible? I need it to be on multiple lines, the same image. Thanks

A great tutorial is here:

<http://indesignsecrets.com/three-ways-to-get-an-image-inside-text.php>

In the last section under "The Filled Text Outlines Method"

Basically, you need to create outlines from your text, and then "paste into."
