Paste lorem-ipsum placeholder text (CC, CS6)
Lorem-ipsum placeholder text lets you quickly fill a text block for layout purposes.
1. Select a type tool, and click to insert the cursor in an existing text line or box.
2. Choose Type > Paste Lorem Ipsum.
Resize or transform a type bounding box
Display the bounding box handles of paragraph type. With the Type tool active, select the type layer in the Layers panel, and click in the
text flow in the image.
You can transform point type while in edit mode. Hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) key, and a bounding box
appears around the type.
To resize the bounding box, position the pointer over a handle—the pointer turns into a double arrow —and drag. Shift-drag to
maintain the proportions of the bounding box.
To rotate the bounding box, position the pointer outside the bounding border—the pointer turns into a curved, two-sided arrow —and
drag. Shift-drag to constrain the rotation to 15° increments. To change the center of rotation, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag
(Mac OS) the center point to a new location. The center point can be outside the bounding box.
To skew the bounding box, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and drag one of the middle handles. The pointer turns into
an arrowhead .
Skewing type using the bounding box
To scale the type as you resize the bounding box, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) a corner handle.
To resize the bounding box from the center point, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) a corner handle.
Convert between point type and paragraph type
You can convert point type to paragraph type to adjust the flow of characters within a bounding box. Alternatively, you can convert paragraph type
to point type to make each text line flow independently from the others. When you convert from paragraph type to point type, a carriage return is
added at the end of each line of type (with the exception of the last line).
1. Select the type layer in the Layers panel.
2. Choose Type > Convert To Point Text or Type > Convert To Paragraph Text. (In CS5 these commands are in the Layer > Type menu.)
When you convert paragraph type to point type, all characters that overflow the bounding box are deleted. To avoid losing text,
adjust the bounding box so that all type is visible prior to conversion.
