If you right click on the Text tool in the tool box, you'll notice that there is also a Horizontal Mask Tool and a Vertical Mask tool. NOTE: If you don't want to move the text, but simply want to select it so that you can delete or edit it, just left click your mouse and drag it over the portion of text that you want to edit. If you don't have a text box and need to move text, simply use the Move tool to drag the text to where you want it in the image. Then, click on the small little circle in the middle of your text box. To move a layer, we select the layer in the Layer Palette, then go to the Move tool in the toolbox. If you have created a text box, to move the text box, you have to move the layer. You can do this by either moving the text box or selecting the text and moving it. Once you input text, you may want to move it to another place in the image. When you're finished, click the background layer it in the Layers Palette. Now, your text is entered as its own layer. You can warp text and create other effects in the options bar too. In the options bar, set your options, including font, color, and size. (If you don't use a text box, just hit Enter to add a new line.) If you want to create a paragraph of text, simply drag a rectangle across the screen in the place where you want the paragraph to go. You will see a white square with a blinking cursor. To create a line of text in your image, click on the place in the image where you want to insert the text. To use the Vertical Text tool, right click on the Text tool and select Vertical Text Tool. The Horizontal Text Tool is shown by default. To add text, we're going to use the Text tool in the toolbox.
