.txt files
Is there a way to open a .txt file in photoshop? I just stumbled upon Lorem ipsum and would like to use it as a placeholder. _________________ The journey of a thousand hours begins with a single layer. |

Hi Bruce, I know that someone will shoot me down in flames but I'm pretty sure that you can't open it directly in Photoshop. One way is to open it in a word processor then copy and paste into a text box. You should also be able to open it in Illustrator and then import it to Photoshop as a smart object.

Thanks, Gordon. I know I don't have Illustrator, and I'm going to have to go look for a word processor. There's probably one closer by than I think. Bruce _________________ Is it necessary? Does it work? |

Surely your computer comes with a word processor! Every computer has a word processor! How do you write letters? |

Re: .txt files
I know it has a word processor somewhere, but I just haven't been interested enough to look. I write letters the old fashioned way - I enjoy the act of writing. I'm almost embarrassed to confess that I got a Mac in order to create photomontages and that's pretty much all I do with it. Am I handicapped? Possibly. Am I happy? Blissful in my ignorance. It all boils down to what Life is all about and I'm forming a strong opinion on that subject. I haven't strayed too far from my cut and paste roots. _________________ I aim to give pause. |

Moments later... I found the Text Edit and it works like magic. Who knew? Oops. Gotta go. I promised to cut the grass this evening, but the scythe needs sharpening. _________________ I aim to give pause. |
