I got a problem here. I have a text in word 2007 which I need to add to phtoshop. The problem is that this text is way too long and it contains random words in bold, so when I add them in photoshop, the format dissapears. I have tried using word pad and then dragging it directly to CS3, which works (text is converted as an image) the only problem is that the entire text can't be justified... Is there anyway I can directly add the text WITH bolds included? or adding the text justified as an image ?
btw, i need the font size to be 8.3 arial (that is why I'm using wordpad)
any help is greatly appriciated!
thanks in advance

how did you copy it?
Did you do the following:
in Word copy text to clipboard;
in PS select the text tool and click in the document to start a new text;
then paste...
?

Just asking, i dunno the answer, but i am going to look for one, cos it must be doable i think. Off course PS is not made for large amounts of text, You need Indesign r something, r eventually you could use Illustrator.

You know Scythar I think his best option is to re-create the Text in "AI" and Import it into PS. I've tried doing it the other way but it does not seem to hold it's course or it just gives an error. Just a thought for you Carchute, AI will probably be your best bet. Hope that helped, if not I'm sure Scythar will figure something out for you.
