Adobe InDesign CS4 Tip - There Are Holes In My Silhouette Wrapping

I Placed a silhouetted Photoshop PSD image into my layout (File>Place) and applied a Shape Wrap to it in the Text Wrap panel. In the Contour Options section, I chose Photoshop Path and selected my silhouette path for the text to wrap around. I noticed an immediate problem however. The text was not only running around the exterior of the silhouetted image, it was also wrapping inside its interior holes. "Well that text will be impossible to read," I thought.

To solve this problem, I select "Largest Area" under the "Wrap To" popup in the Text Wrap panel. This forced the type to wrap ONLY into the parts of a Text Frame or Column that have the most space for the type. So all of the interior areas no longer has text in them. Problem solved!
