Text appears above text frame

Why would the text show up above the container I created for it?

Hi Scott,

The only reason I can think of for this to happen is a baseline shift. This is a character setting, so the text has to be selected. If you don't see it:

• select your text with the Type tool
• Ctrl+A to select all
• post a screen shot with the selected text and the Character panel.

Baseline Shift is the control marked below. All characters must be selected.

You are correct. That box had 48 pt in it. I don't know how that got there, because I sure didn't do it. Hopefully, Photoshop will remember that I want it to be 0 next time.

Much thanks,

Scott

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?Draw a shape that you want. Then take the type tool first one and click on the edge of the shape and start typing.

That's not what I was trying to accomplish. I appreciate that you allocated part of your day to try and help me though.

Ok, sorry, I miss understood. Can you post a sample of what you are trying to achieve? Unless you solved it already. Have a good day.
