I know that you can make a shape in CS and text follow this shape..... However I cannot figure out how to do it.... Can anyone help me?

i.e:
Make an circle and write text around it :)
 
Well just to be clear JallaBalla, you have to type your text along a PATH, not just any line; stroked or otherwise.

If it's anything like most vector programs, simply create your Path in any shape of from (using the Pen tools), select the Type tool, hover the tool over the path and the cursor will change in some way -- usually a carat will appear indicating you can start typing.
When the mouse changes, click on the Path and begin typing.

Anyone knowing that this is not the case with PS CS is welcome to correct me. [honesty]

PS: i'm sure this info is in the HELP! files also. ;)
 
Yep, I got it. The reason I didn't manage earlier is that i tried the Marquee tool, not the pen tool as I was suppose to do.

Found it in the helpfiles too ;)
