Reza,
Try adding a few spaces to your text. Text wrap assumes you're using words
with spaces.

I can't fix the problem. Even I increased "min" and "opt" in properties panel
(space section of the text) again the text is located on the right side of the
shape not on the both side. Should I add anything to stand off section? But I
add a few numbers and I couldn't fix it. Once I used space tab (keyboard) to
add space to each alphabet but for a page with 100 words each 5 alphabets I
should add space 500 times! Is there any easy way? Even in this way sometimes
it is not ok.

What Judy meant was that Freehand will see all those 't's you've typed
as one long word, and be unable to wrap it properly. Leave your
word/letter spacing alone. I'm not sure what you mean by 'alphabets',
but if all those t's are an atempt at dummy/placeholder text, then it
would better to use some 'Lorem ipsom' (nonsensical mock-latin that is
supposed to mimic the average english text in dummy layouts). Here's
some to copy and paste into your document, courtesy of InDesign:

Flow Around Selection and Flow Inside Path will _only_ work predictably with
text made of words with spaces between words. That's what those features
were designed for.

If you are using strings of continuous letters without spaces, then I think
your only option is to use line returns and tabs.

There's a handy Lorem Ipsum generator here, too:
