Word Text into PS 7

[howjac@adobeforums.com]

When I was working with Photoshop 6, I was able to bring text from a word processing document (such as Word) into a PS plate. This was done by typing any few letters onto an image. Then in Word I'd Copy the text and Paste it onto the PS image. I would delete the original letters that I put in the image and now I'd have the text I wanted. I can't seem to do this in PS 7. Any ideas?

place your curser where you want your text or draw a text box. now paste the text you copied. its that simple. text is a little different in 7 & 8 you may want to read your manual.

Thanks... The key in this I found... is to make sure the sizes of both are compatable.

You also can do what you describe without a Text Box. After type a few letters on to the image as described, Select All to highlight the text, then Paste.
