Working with Text

Open a new window Ctrl + N (choose a bigger size window with the following dimensions; width 400 and height 300) and press OK

Select the Type Tool and click on the window that you just opened and type something.

If you want to make changes to your text that you just have typed, highlight it and change the properties from Options Panel

After you make your changes click on the Move Tool (V) to position your text on the top left corner of the window.

There is another way to change the properties of the Text in addition to the Options Panel we have discussed, it is using Character Panel. If you don't see the Character Panel go to Windows > Character to bring up the Character Panel.

Below is the Character Panel, if you change any of the properties it should be reflected on the Text you have typed. Make sure the correct layer is selected otherwise you will not see any changes on the text. Layers will be our next discussion.
