Text Box Help In PSP X4

Post by MamaWolf »

Hi folks,
I am trying to learn PSP X4 & get away from version 9. I absolutely hate the text tool. I have a preview template that I use for all products. All I need to do is drag the previews onto it & change the text to suit & I'm done. I know how to get the text box, however, I can't bring it up when trying to change the text in a previously saved vector. I am attaching a screenshot of how I do it in v9. Hopefully, it will show it better than I can explain it.

I don't have X4 on my system, but in X7, X8, and X9 (which should work the same as X4) holding SHIFT when accessing the edit mode is all you need to do to bring up the text box.

For example.

1) Hold SHIFT + Double Click on the text object with the text tool

2) Hold SHIFT + Double Click on the text object in the layers palette

3) Hold SHIFT + right-click on text object in layers palette and clicking "Edit Text"

I still have X4 hanging around and I can confirm it does work as you described.
