can anyone help me with a photoshop question please?
I know my way around photoshop pretty well, but a job i am designing up at the moment includes Full Pages of text surrounding images that will eventually be output at around 7ft high. my problem is. i have been given the text in Microsoft word to copy and paste into photoshop. easy done… however, having never worked with as much text on one page in photoshop i seem to have a setting out….
when i paste in the page of text it is not wrapping itself…
each line is a mile long… is there a setting i choose that will auto wrap/return each line of text so i can work with it…thanks in advance for any help… "it’s doing my head in as its i am probably overlooking the setting option" :lol1:

Hi Robert,
I would import into illustrator and do all your wrapping there before going to
photoshop, you will have greater flexabilty
cheers

yep illustrator has a wrapping function, it gives alot options for that sort of thing.

thanks a million guys….
problem is… i hardly use illustrator… im strictly photoshop and signlab 😕 Andrew uses/has it on his computer but he’s running prints from that computer just now. i guess worst case scenario i could use it when hes done… but have a mountain of design work here. 😕 -

I tried it and had the same problem – so I saved the word doc as a pdf file then copied from adobe reader and pasted it into photoshop and it worked

Make up the background images in photoshop and do the text layout in Signlab.

In Photoshop, define the text area you need using the pen tool.. then, choose your type tool and click inside that shape, this turns that shape into a text area. Paste into the text area and you should be good to go.
Or, if you just need squares or rectangles, click & drag with your type tool and you’ll get text areas as well, which will automatially wrap and can be resized at will.
This is with CS2, it might be even easier with CS3.
Good luck! If you haven’t solved the problem already.. heh

It’s still pretty slow and annoying laying out text in Photoshop.
If I’m doing anything with a lot of text, like banner pop-ups I will do the text in Flexi or Illustrator.
