In-Depth Information
Once you've entered text, you can modify it using most of Elements' editing tools. You can
add layer styles to it (
Adding Layer Styles
), move it with the Move tool, rotate it, change its
color, and so on.
NOTE
If you try to paste text into Elements by copying it from a word-processing program, the
results can be unpredictable. Sometimes it works fine, but you may find the text comes in
as one endlessly long line of words. If that happens, it's often easier to type text into Ele-
ments from scratch than to reformat it.
Editing Text
In Elements, you can edit text after you enter it, just like in a word processor. Elements lets
you change not only the letters, but the font and size, too, even if you've applied lots of layer
styles. You modify text by highlighting it and then making the correction, or by changing the
settings in the Tool Options area while the text is highlighted.
Figure 14-4
shows the easy
way to highlight text for editing.
