Photoshop :: Cannot Type Text
Aug 27, 2006
I am using photoshop cs 2.
Recently, I created an image and clicked my text tool and then clicked on my document, and when i tried to type... no text would come out. I can't use any letters, spaces, or returns. However, if I copy and paste text in it will show up but I cannot backspace it or add to it, but i can click to the front and my delete key will work. I have recently installed adobe premier pro if this has anything to do with it i am not sure. I have tried the repair photoshop installing feature, a full uninstall and reinstall, and dumping my preferences folder.
I'm on a normal document it creates the text layer and i get a blinking cursor i just can't type anything ... my keyboard is working fine because i can use shortcuts like (ctrl +t) and those work i just can't type anything at all...
before the full reinstall it would crash if i copy and pasted text in, but now it does not crash.

I have a type layer with some text in it (a headline, let's say). I click on the layer, I click on the Character Panel, and first thing I see is the color in the Panel is not the color of the font in the layer.
I then click on any Panel property, and the text in this layer is replaced by text from another layer in my document ( a paragraph layer, let's say), but the color is not the same as the layer the text came from.

First it stops pasting anything except the first thing copied when Gimp opens, and now this. When I try to search for a font or type in text in the text tool in Gimp 2.8, it just jumps to random other tools instead of typing.
Why can't this program ever seem to work FULLY?

Today Illustrator CS4 decided to start crashing on me when I try to paste text into the art board. It will also not allow me to type text into the artboard. Whenever I try to type, it just does all the tool shortcuts. I have alread tried deleting the preferences and that hasn't worked at all.

I can't type text anymore. I choose the text tool, position it somewhere in my drawing, start typing but nothing shows up. I can see where I placed it because the small box is there. I tried adjusting to various point sizes, different colors, different fonts, but nothing seems to work. If I type something, what I typed shows up in the layer name but not the picture. Would anyone know what might be going on?

I am currently using photshop cs2(9.01). I am using xp with auto update. I have one gig of memory.
Everything was working fine, and now I can't type anything. The cursor does not move. I tried typing on the line also nothing.
I think I did something to create this problem.
I tried deleting the preferences file, but that didn't work.

I downloaded the Adobe CS6 cloud on September 1, 2012, and my laptop is a Dell-alienware m11x and it has 4 GB of RAM DDR3,it has an Intel i5 processor of 1.07 GHz,and it has a separate Nvidia graphics card.
So I'm pretty sure it should be able to handle Photoshop, but every time I go on Photoshop it makes my entire computer slow and the text key doesn't let me type in Photoshop.

No matter what I do, or where I've checked, I can't get text to show up on my either jpg or psd version of an image. The text box isn't too small (checked that), text is black on white background (check), even changed fonts to test that. I'm working on a PC, Windows 7, CC and/or PSCS6 -- tried them both.

I have seen some design of text that is very clean but for some reason, my text has some kind of feather on it. I have tried to change different properties of the text but it doesn't work. As you can see in the image, the first button, the text is very clean (got it from a website) compared to the second one.

New to Photoshop and was given v.7 as a gift, I'm trying to add text to a signature I'm makeing but when I select type tool, drag a text box onto my frame I can see any text/type. The box is there but I can't see what I'm typing? the top left corner box flashes and it looks like there are tiny characters in there, although without a magnifying glass you would never see it? how do I add text to my frame?

I created a path with the type tool, selected the path in the Paths panel, I started typing on the path and the type followed the path, though I chose edit > free transform path and scaled it, though the text did not move with the new path and now it is no longer on the path?
1. Why did the text not stay on the path as I transformed it?
2. How do you hide the path so you do not have to see it? I want it there only as a guide for my text to flow across.

I am trying to design a pattern with different peoples names in (You can see a rough one I did in the image below, all the 'NAME HERE''s are on seperate text layers) and would like to know if there is a way to update all the type (i.e. change the 'NAME HERE' to actual names) at once? I know you can link the layers and press shift to edit the formatting but I want to update the actual letters.

way to quickly "convert" a line of text, created by just clicking with the text tool, and typing, into a text block? Other than copy and pasting the text in to a new, drawn out text box?

Installed CC a few days ago and appeared to work fine. Presents and Plugins up and running. Did the update that showed up already too. Tried to use the type tool for a customer project last night and it won't work. I just get a square black dot and no text appears, nor a text box. Use a MacBook Pro 17" with Mountain Lion.

I have a text box containing text. I know the shortcut to change the leading - alt + arrow keys
To use this shortcut I have to select the text which puts big black blocks through the text and I can't really see the leading.
Is there a way to use this keyboard shortcut without selecting the text and possibly just select the text box?
Is there a way to change the color of the text selection.

Ever since I've installed CS6 my Text tool has not been working properly AT ALL. a Number of problems
1. I cant resize using the 00.pt at all. If I switch from 72 to 48 (or any other number) it will stay the same
2. manually rezising also causes issues, I don't get a full preview of the text even after sized. its cut off at 50%-75% height
3. the bounding box doesn't even go outside the entire object. its usually about 20% of the height
4. it often needs to "load" I've NEVER seen this before.
Its also since caused problems to CS5.

I have one large file and think it didn't save correctly or something. I've tried quitting and relaunching Photoshop but that doesn't work. Editing text in other Photoshop files works normally.
As soon as I click on any text with the type tool as though I'm going edit or style the text, the text instantly changes. Both the content and styling of the text is replaced as soon as the cursor is placed anywhere in the string of characters.
The really weird thing is the updated text matches text that appears somewhere else on the page. If I click the other text that it now matches that will also get automatically replaced by some other text on the page. And it goes on and on. It's impossible to edit or style any text unless I create new text.
I think the file has miss-arranged references to elements which only becomes apparent as I'm trying to edit.

In Photoshop CS6 the flashing type cursor cuts through several lines of text (see image).
This makes it hard to select text since it is hard to tell which line the cursor will select (see image).
Can the text cursor be resized? This happens no matter what type size is used or what paragraph settings are selected. I am using Windows 7 professional, service pack 1 on a Dell Precision T3500 with 8.0 GB RAM.

I am dealing with text in some non-unicode encodings. The text includes the soft-hyphen character (0xAD) - which under ISO 8559-1 encoding is rendered as a hyphen.
When I paste this text into photoshop, the soft-hyphen disappears. The soft-hyphen is still there (if I copy the text and paste it back into notepad it is visible, also it shows up in the text layer's name) but it is not being rendered.
Now in Photoshop 7 the soft-hyphen renders as expected so I believe this is something caused by Photoshop's transition to Unicode in later versions (I see this 'problem' in Photoshop CS3 and CS4 - don't have CS or CS2 to test).
* Is it possible to change the type tool's behavior to the older version - i.e. to show soft-hyphen?
* Would anyone know if CS/CS2 behave like this as well?
I need soft-hyphen to be rendered because I am working with an old/legacy font which 'renders' soft-hyphen as a different glyph.

At some point, several months ago, my sister and I were playing with transform (by phone, we are in different states) -- she had taken a Photoshop class and wanted to try to duplicate something.
I tried using my type tool yesterday, and couldn't see anything when I typed. (White background, black text, Arial, 14 pt, 100%). I've tried clearing type presets. I finally tried blowing it up to 500% and saw a small, gray font-like image where I was typing.
I held down Ctrl and played with the transform box: if I expanded the box, my text is there. I've tried clicking on everything at the top when in transform. How to get my type tool entering text in the regular way.

This has been an issue for me for a while, not just in CS6. When copying text from Photoshop into Illustrator the font comes through but the size is always about 4 times what it was in Photoshop. Both documents are set to the same dpi. I don't understand where it's getting this arbitrary size info from. Any trick to get the size to come though correctly?

The text tool will no longer display the box that allows you to change the text size or text color. (At the bottom left of screen) ELEMENTS 11.
