Skew text effect?

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I'm trying to create a skewed text effect, as if the text is going around a corner and out of sight, getting smaller with each letter. I don't know if I can upload an image to this forum to show you, but I could email an example if necessary. I can do it in a cheapo program I have, but it will only save it as a JPEG, which is not transparent. I know InDesign will do it, but all I've managed so far is getting the text to go in a curve. I can't get it to go from large to small, proportionately.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much!

It can't be done in InDesign, you'll have to do it in Illustrator

 
With enough font-size changing, and/or horizontal and vertical scaling, you might be able to get the effect you're looking for, but InDesign is not a very good tool for that kind of thing.
 
Thank you so much, that is very helpful. I'm not as familiar with Illustrator, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks again to both of you!
