Creating text

Choose the Text tool in the Tools panel. (Fireworks) (Photoshop)

  • Move the pointer over the document window. The pointer changes to an I-beam. If you are using Fireworks, the Property inspector displays text properties. In Photoshop, the text properties will appear in the Character box as well as below the menu bar.
  1. With the I-beam pointer, click where you wish to start the text.
    • If you are using Fireworks, a text box will appear. You can adjust the size of the text box by dragging the anchor points.
    • In Photoshop you can move the text by first choosing the text layer, and then using the Move tool.
  1. Click outside of the text box to apply your text entry, or choose another tool.
