Default Adding art inside text

I have the outline of a single word of text setup but I want to place a design inside the text only...

Ex: The word "BEACH" fill with some kind of palm tree fill created separately...

is this possible to do?

thanks

With Corel it is powerclip. Easy as a couple of clicks.

As Ken said, with Corel, just copy the image in, select the image, go to Effects, choose Powerclip, then Place Inside Container, then click on your "BEACH".

For Photoshop you would open the image, duplicate the image layer, uncheck the eye for visibility on the background layer (in case somethin goes awry you still have the original). Use the text tool to type in your word. Move your visible image layer above the text layer, rasterize the text layer, then create a clipping mask on the text (right click on the Text layer and choose Create clipping mask).
