I need a continuous text in a shape that has been built with a shape builder tool (Let's say doughnut shape). I need the text to continuously flow in the "doughnut", and leave the inside circle empty. Filling the ellipse with text and then cutting out the center text is not an option. As I said, the text has to be continuous.

As of right now, when I create a shape and click on the Area Type tool I get a message that says " you must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text inside a path".

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Select the outer path with Group selection tool

Copy it
Deselect
Paste in Front

Object > Path > Offset path...

Optional step that you will want to do if you don't want the text to be hugging the outside edge of the object.

Write text within the offset object
If you did step 2, remove the original object that you offset the path from.
Select the inner path with Group selection tool

Copy it
Deselect
Paste in Front

Set fill color to none
Object > Text wrap > Make
Object > Text wrap > Text wrap options...

...if you want to adjust the inner offset.
