I wrote this when I had CS, but I have CS5 now and pretty much everything still applies.

I mean by using “return” or “enter”. So try adding a line break after a word and see how the whole bubble looks. If the middle got too small or the top and bottom got too wide, then delete the line break and try breaking up the words in a different place. Sometimes I’ll try a few different line breaks, then resize the bubble to make it wider or narrower, and then do more line breaks. Whatever it takes to make it look good! ;)

Sometimes, the text just doesn’t cooperate with the diamond shape no matter how you push the words around. Just make sure you try to have the lines of text narrow at the top and wider in the middle. And it’s more important to match the shape of the bubble (tall and thin? round?) than to go for a diamond ;)

Sorry, this is as much as I’m going to cover cloning: http://senbonzakura.kageyoshi.net/2008/02/20/intro-to-the-clone-tool/

I still feel that complicated redraws aren’t worth the time (I once spent an hour on a giant SFX and then realized I’ll never have that hour of my life back), so basic cloning or pasting from a different part of the page can get you through most redraws.
