How can I edit text as an object

I'm trying to bend text, and manipulate it as an object ... adding images as fill, etc. Can't seem to find a way?! Help!

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz)

Pages doesn't do this.

Art Text 2 lite [free] from the App Store does.

You might consider the free Art Text 2 Lite in the App Store, or from the developer's web site here (not linked to downloadable file). You can flow text along a bezier curve, and a great deal more.

In Pages, you can fill a shape, text box, table, table cell, chart background or series with an image. You can mask images with shapes.
