Question

I need to justify text in Photoshop CS2 - nothing is working

I have read several solutions, but not effective.
1. ctrl shift J does not work.
2. I can bring up the paragraph window. The Justify button won't engage. If I select an area of the text with a box tool it engages to click it but nothing happens.
3. I tried cut and paste in word. No good.
Much thanks for your ideas.

    Just go to extend the Paragraph panel and you will be

    able to adjust the "justify" format.

    Select the Type Tool, as you have been.

    But, instead of just clicking and starting your typing in your document, Click and DRAG out a paragraph text box, just like you'd drag out a rectangular marquee.

    Your flashing-cursor insertion point will flash at a position within that box, depending on how you have your character and paragraph attributes set in their respective palettes.

    Ok. I must be missing something obvious. Where can I select a text box? I am using CS2 is that feature on this? Pls give a simple step-by-step.

    Thanks!

    You have to have created paragraph text. Do this be dragging a textbox the width you want. Then type the text you want, allowing automatic line breaks. You should be able to use the justification buttons on the paragraph palette/tab to get the type of justification you want.

    I think there might be a way to convert text to paragraph style from line style, but you will still have to get rid of all the enter commands that were used to break lines.
