Hi, Thanks for reading. I think this is a basic question. But I haven’t done this before, working with paragraph text only point text. I have a word document, which is actually my resume and I am making in effort to make it look nicer in Photoshop over the holiday. Clearly, the way I am currently executing the operation is not working, as I am importing the text by simply cutting and pasting. I open a new document the size of regular piece of paper and then press the Type button and then hit the paste button. It comes it all right but I can’t do anything with it. It’s holding the formatting from word and I can’t even grasp the sizing problem, because when I go to 100% magnification the document is huge, but I assume I have to set the the size of the paper to the size of piece of regular paper. These are probably basic things, which makes me feel all the more stupid because I am not the bad with Photoshop. I just haven’t done anything like this before. I tried to look up info from the help files, which were help if want to know about baseline and kerning, but it very much confused me with the bounding box dragging or stretching, and then setting the points, which were in the hundred, so I had no idea what to enter and there was no reference anywhere about it. Not that makes a difference to keep it as to separate documents, but if my resume is two pages long, I should be able to simply increase the length of the image size, right, or would if be better to keep each page as it is own entity. Anyone with information on this subject, it would be appreciated, even if you don’t have the complete answer, I will take pieces until I get something to make a whole pie. This is my project since I am not with my family for the holiday, ya, bo-hoo. I don’t if people only answer on this, but you can also email me directly if you like at: Thanks, Skylar

I have to set the the size of the paper to the size of piece of regular paper. <<
The ‘size’ at 100% will depend upon the resolution of your new document, so if you created it at 300 ppi then it will be about 4x letter-size on-screen at 100%.
Having created your new doc and copied the text, click on the text tool and drag on the document to create a text area. THEN paste.
I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve by bring the text into Photoshop. If your goal is to have your text appear over some image you created in Photoshop, I would think that the better approach would be to create the image in Photoshop then save it in a format that MS Word will recognize (jpg, gif, tiff, etc). You can then set up the graphic as a background fill element in Word. This way your text remains editable and formatted the way you want it.
Also, if you are planning on submitting your resume in electronic format, most places that I have seen either want the resume in plain text format or in MS Word (.doc).

Hi Loren and Len, Thanks for responding. Actually, you’re very right about submitting my text to companies and that it will have to be in word format. My friend who did my resume year before, being completely immersed in the graphics world assumed that everyone could simply open my document in Acrobat since he converted the Photoshop file to a PDF file when finished. However, I quickly found out that was not the case and my friend was not happy about the work he put into my resume. In this case, however, it is simply a matter, of wanting to align the text out beautifully in Photoshop, and being able to have the additional control options, such as baseline and the special justification features per line that Photoshop offers. This will be for a resume that I hand to people in interviews that I meet face to face, not ones the I email, in which I will send the standard word format I presently have. There will be not images or logo on the resume, just simple text. Moreover, I am in the process of building a personal website to highlight my marketing and merchandising endeavors (and, maybe, someday, down the road, graphics, too), and I thought I would be able to display the Photoshop version there. Finally, I thought since I am completely ignorant on this issue that this would be a great way to learn more about paragraph text and how to use it in Photoshop, because I do consulting work and it is bound to come in handy, and also have a chance to work on something like my resume at the same time. Unfortunately, I am not absolutely clear what Len means about DPI factor. I probably do have the DPI I 300, so I imagine that I could bring it down, which might effect the huge size problem, possibly. Though I wonder if it would effect the quality of the print out of the letter? I will have to see. But before I can get that far I need to get control over the formatting nightmare on my hands. There is the issue of the preexisting formating from the word document. Clearly designers cut and paste from other documents all day long into Photoshop and then edit from there, so I just need to understand and be able accomplish that function, too, which I imagine is probably not difficult, once I get a few pointers.
So if anyone can get me pointers on how to cut and paste MS word text (two documents length) in Photoshop and be able to clearly the formatting and also have more control over sizing, it would be really appreciated!
I think that this is a matter of using the right tool for the job.
Word has quite good text control functionality. More than enough for every day purposes. If you want better, you should look at a page layout program [like InDesign, Quark or MS Publisher].
PS has some fine text control, but it really isn’t intended for dealing with whole text documents. It can’t even handle more than a single page, for example.
PS is a wonderful tool for image processing. A hammer is a great tool for knocking in nails, so don’t use a spade …

Copy the document into notepad…. (all formatting except for para spaces will be removed) then select all the text from Notepad…. copy….. and paste it into Photoshop. Choose font, font sizes and adjust paras, justification, etc in PS.
Cheers…
JJ
PS: You might need to readjust the text in Notepad in the event of double spacing…
Microsoft WORD is for things with words in them, like resume’s. PHOTOshop is for things like photos. That is images. It has some word like functions but anything you can do to text in PHOTOshop can be done more easily in Word.
Do the resume in Word. Not photoshop. You’ll regret getting cute on a resume. And maybe you’ll miss out on a job you’d really enjoy.
Ya, well, have I have InDesign, but I don’t know how to use it yet, it is one of few programs that I am meant to learn; however the Macromedia Dreamweaver and Photoshop applications have kept me behind schedule, so I haven’t had time to take anything else on. Though I looked over my friends shoulder as he laid out my resume in Photoshop and it came out great visually, and I am simply trying to accomplish the same thing. However he moved to Abiza and it possible to reach but it difficult.
Dave, I think you are being a little shortsighted if you think photoshop is only, or mostly for images. Why do you think do you think there are over 3000 type font Actions (the most Actions for anything by far, including photos) over yonder at the AdobeStudio Exchange. Not to mention, most importantly, Adobe creates a specific area in type called paragraph type, which is different than point type, and it gives you far more control over positioning than you could ever have in Word. I don’t think you are that familar with the position options in the paragraph type section but if you would check them out you will realize that you can’t do they same things in Word, as I have the latest version and am quite prolific in the application. The resume is done already in word, I simply want to import it into Photoshop and then apply the justifcation and layout.
As for Jay, thanks for the feedback, you seem to have a better idea on what I am trying to accomplish and not spewing negativity on my simple request, and I do appreciate it. I think that might be worth pursuing as to the formatting. However, I am curious as to the BOUNDING BOX that the Photoshop help files refer to drag out before placing the text. I did that but I didn’t know how to calculate what the numbers meant, and apparently this is the common way for using the paragraph text format, at least recommended through the Adobe. So if anyone has an idea about how the bounding box works and the calculations, the insight would be appreciated. As for the reason I want to do this, why can’t people accept that I want to layout my resume and have it look nice, it was done like this before for me a few years back and it looked much better than my word version. Thus I know it can be done; I know how much better it looks; and, finally I want the experience of working with paragraph text.
I think you are being a little shortsighted if you think photoshop is only, or mostly for images.
um, ok.
Why do you think do you think there are over 3000 type font Actions
because people are too lazy to learn the app and do it themselves.
I don’t think you are that familar with the position options in the paragraph type section
if you say so…
but if you would check them out you will realize that you can’t do they same things in Word, as I have the latest version and am quite prolific in the application.
and it gives you far more control over positioning than you could ever have in Word
nope. sorry. wrong. I don’t think you’re proficient in EITHER app if you think that.
The resume is done already in word
so finish it off!
As for wanting to learn the text tool in photoshop, I (humbly) suggest you do so with a less critical document than your resume!
not spewing negativity on my simple request
heh! Dude, I really don’t care what app you do it in. Having worked in the corporate world for quite a long time now, I was just suggesting you think again before using an image editor (even THE image editor) to do your resume. I was not "spewing negitivaty", I was passing on some of my hard learned corporate wisdom. <g> Here’s some more: Your resume should be completely professional and not scream "COME TO OUR CAR WASH GRAND OPENING TODAY!"
But hey, it’s your life and your (potential) job. Good luck.
Unfortunately, I am not absolutely clear what Len means about DPI factor<<
When you go to 100% view, each pixel in the image is mapped to a screen pixel. Now your screen is likely to be somewhere between 60 and 100 ppi, so if your image is at 300ppi it’s going to appear between 3 and 4 times larger than it’s ‘real’ size at 100% zoom.
The size on screen at 100% is NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER of the printed size, and for decent type output you want as high a resolution as you can manage….
That is the biggest downside to producing your resumé in Photoshop – unless you have a PostScript printer, the text will be rasterized when you print it, and nowhere near as ‘crisp’ as when printed from Word or a DTP application. Consequently you need to use very high document resolutions to obtain crisp typographic output.
If your long term goal is to become proficient in Photoshop, you may want to invest some quality time in online tutorials or Photoshop specific "how to" books.
As to your resume…
Photoshop provides all the tools and features needed to get the job done. The problem seems to be your limited awareness of how to use them effectively. Tutorials, books, and time in the saddle will get you a lot closer to your goal.
For the job at hand…(in detail)
Create page two
File/New Name = Resume pg 2 Image Size Width = page width Height = page height Resolution = 300 pixels/inch Mode = RGB Color Contents = White
Create margins
View Show Rulers Snap = checked Snap to = guides Drag guides onto the page to establish top, bottom, left, right margins. Use the ruler to position the guides.
Create a text box
Select the text tool Anywhere on the page, Click and drag to create a larger rectangle. Using the control handles on the text box, drag the text box boundaries to the margin guides. The boundaries will snap to the guides.
Create page one
Image/Duplicate As: = Resume pg 1
Create text
Choose your text options; font, style, size, justification, etc… Switch to your text document and copy some text. Switch to Photoshop. With the text tool selected, click in the text box and paste.
Modify text
Select the target text Use the Character/Paragraph palette options Then commit the changes with the "check mark" on the Text Options Bar.
Save early, save often.

Try alt+clicking in the image when you have the test tool to be able to adjust the point size of your paragraph box, if you prefer that unit…
Will you send applications to get a job in the graphic indstry? I recommend learning at least the basics,like resolution, or you’ll be busted at the first question they ask…
There are a lot of books that might help you: Classroom in a book, Real world photoshop, etc…
Don’t understand ‘clearing the formatting’ of a cut and paste from a Word document, the pasted text should take on the formatting of the last used format used in Photoshop, it doesn’t retain any formatting through ‘cut and paste’. at least not on my machine.
If your copy does retain the formatting, then I suggest that you open the document in Word and then ‘save as’ and chose .txt file and all the formatting will be removed, then open the .txt file in Notepad and copy and paste from there.
Wow, interesting how a question can awry. I am not a looking for a designer position, so I don’t have to worry about being busted on an interview. Actually I work in Strategic Marketing Development and this all about just laying out my resume in a different and figuring I could ask a few people some questions.
Dave, you are simply too entertaining! I am not sure what your last line means about the carwash. I think you are implying that I might use a special effect tactic to try attention to my resume. Clearly, you creative prowess effects your ability to simply read what I asked for initially in my question or follow up questions. However, as for the wisdom you passing on regarding the corporate world, I have 10 years experience at two of the largest companies in their industries, one in publishing and other in liquor. So as to whether you could enlighten me, I question seriously; but I don’t question for a moment that you believe that your wisdom is a gift to be cherished by me and whomever else you deem fit to dish it out to. So if you have anything worth saying, I am sure it is limited to graphics, and only graphics. Interestingly enough it is that limited amount of knowledge in one area that empowers the rest of your brain into thinking that it knows more than it does, which it almost always doesn’t. I know your type; I have met many of them on projects from the Creative Service departments at the companies I have worked at, you are so predictable. Now let me say, that I am sure you have a lot to offer on the front of optimizing web images and you certainly do have an entertainment value, so don’t take this any more than a little horse play between "corporate buddies." BTW, did you ever think that Action are necessarily for lazy people, but maybe for people that want to be efficient any not perform the same routine over and over again. Hmm, probably not because the would be a different perspective on something and clearly you have only one: yours.
Thanks, I try! 🙂 Really, I’m wasn’t trying to bust your chops. I was trying to help you choose the most appropriate tool for the job. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to learn photoshop, I just don’t think a resume is the place to experiment. Especially if you really need a job.
I am not sure what your last line means about the carwash.
It means that PS is better suited to doing ad work and promotions and art than it is to creating a "document".
but I don’t question for a moment that you believe that your wisdom is a gift to be cherished by me and whomever else you deem fit to dish it out to.
Wisdom is not to be cherished, it’s to be shared. The wise will listen to it, the foolish may simply ignore it to their detriment.
So if you have anything worth saying, I am sure it is limited to graphics, and only graphics.
Actually, I’m a programmer. 🙂
Interestingly enough it is that limited amount of knowledge in one area that empowers the rest of your brain into thinking that it knows more than it does, which it almost always doesn’t.
That’s true in a general sense. Ralph Waldo Emmerson said: "In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him." I try to remember that. Do you?
I know your type;
You do?
I have met many of them on projects from the Creative Service departments at the companies I have worked at, you are so predictable.
We are?
Now let me say, that I am sure you have a lot to offer on the front of optimizing web images
Some. But not as much as most here. I’m more of a "techie". PS is a hobby. Albiet one I’ve been doing for a while.
and you certainly do have an entertainment value,
Thanks. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
so don’t take this any more than a little horse play between "corporate buddies."
It’s sure not getting my panties ruffled, if that’s what you mean! <g>
BTW, did you ever think that Action are necessarily for lazy people, but maybe for people that want to be efficient any not perform the same routine over and over again.
Your own actions are for speeding things up efficiently. Other peoples actions are for learning a technique so you can apply the priciples to your own work. If you don’t use them that way, you’re missing out on a great learning experience.
Hmm, probably not because the would be a different perspective on something and clearly you have only one: yours.
Sadly, you completely miss my point. You don’t know a thing about me. You don’t know what I do… who I am… what kind of experience I have… or why I’d want to share them to perhaps help you out. You seem to be looking in a mirror and projecting your insecurities on to me.
"Pay attention. You never know what disguise your next teacher will be wearing."
Dear Dave, Actually I am having Sushi but I will keep the veal option in mind.I do admit I admire the way you dissect my sentences and then answer accordingly. It makes it much easier to read. I will have to try that myself some time.
As for being open to my next teacher, I am more so that you would know, but generally I don’t do well by a teacher that starts off his conversation as you did. If you were truly a teacher with wisdom to offer than I believe it would have been offered differently. I keep my own phrase in mind, Don’t be afraid of going slowly, be only afraid of standing still. Thus, if I want to try a different technique out, which I often do, then I should be offered the wisdom from the people who frequent this Photoshop oracle. And considering what you offered to date, that brings our conversations to an end. Of course, predicateably you will want the last word, so be my guest. Best, Skylar
"And considering what you offered to date, that brings our conversations to an end. Of course, predicateably you will want the last word, so be my guest."
Skylar,
"Our" Dave doesn’t do anything (predicateably) or even predictably—He is wild and crazy, funny and caring; intelligent and knowledgeable beyond belief—the kind of special person that gives of himself to help others. He’s amazing.
I think you misconceived Dave’s words—but you handled your "attitude" with a certain amount of aplomb and style–that’s a good thing. So, no need to take it further. Dave’s the best.
If you were truly a teacher with wisdom to offer than I believe it would have been offered differently.
one neva knows.
Thus, if I want to try a different technique out, which I often do, then I should be offered the wisdom from the people who frequent this Photoshop oracle.
Sure. That’s great. Who the heck am I? Nobody that’s who. There’s real pros here. I’ve been hanging here for about a year and a half and have learned tons from these people. I try to pass along what I’ve learned, and also to interject my own expertise when I can.
predicateably you will want the last word, so be my guest.
Thanks, think I will, mayhap.
So I’ll leave you with what I said in my first semi-fecious post in this thread (#6):
"You’ll regret getting cute on a resume. And maybe you’ll miss out on a job you’d really enjoy."
He is wild and crazy, funny and caring; intelligent and knowledgeable beyond belief—the kind of special person that gives of himself to help others. He’s amazing.
Oh, Skylar, I forgot. Just because I think your wrong to do this in photoshop, please continue to ask specific questions since you’re going ahead with it anyway. You should at least walk away from it by learning something about the program. So let’s put our differences on this issue aside. Please let us know what and how you’re doing and feel free to ask away if you have any questions. Also if you find what works for you, please share it.
Sky King was a Saturday morning kids’ show in the ’50s. It was about this guy named–get this–Skylar King, who flew around in a 2-engine plane, rescuing his niece Penny from certain death. Kinda like Lassie, only they used a plane instead of a dog.
Be honest, please tell me you had to google to get those specific details. I never would have remembered Sky’s niece was named Penny. I loved that show!
Made me wonder—with all this high tech computer "stuff", is there a way to get dvd’s or something of those kind of "classic" tv shows?
Well Dave, Well, apparently, I have walked into your little corner of the world where everyone is speaking of your virtues. Gee, after, all these wonderful things about you I am not reading it makes you sound good enough to be dating material. I mean you even know how to cook. Gosh, how many guys do I know now how to cook. And your creative and witty, and wicked sense of humor. Oh, and based on what I am reading your intelligent too. So it sounds good. The only thing missing is in the reports on you is the looks part. However, I have that is covered, assuming you look Aryan looking men. So if you are are handsome or cute, too then it would be great! Some of the best relationships are the with two opposites. Oh, the only thing missing is that you need to be gay, but I can deal with bi, too. Skylar
Dear Dave, Actually, I thought that was basically a date proposal? You could email personally if it should make you more uncomfortable to address it public. Oh, ya, I don’t need to know where you live. I am Manhattan, of course. If you are there and like Aryan type guys, drop me an email. I think we could at least chat some more, as I always like a challenge, and I guy who knows how to cook. I am being serious. I am toying with you like some cat and a mouse game. Follow your instincts, I can tell that your have to be at least fascinated what I would be like to chat with me some more.
On another hand, I just got an email from my friend an Ibiza and turns out that it wasn’t Photoshop that he did my resume on but that it was Quark Express. And he even said that Photoshop would be the wrong program to use. So that clarifies that issues up now. I guess my memory is not as good as I thought.
Now considering how you always have a smart remarks you had for everything, how come nothing for the last one? Suddenly I am busting your chops? All the other emails before that you never mentioned that as an issue. You seemed to rentlessly go one like the energizer bunny rabbit.Don’t be so sensitive, Dave, it doesn’t suit you. I prefer the otherway, it is much more appealing.
Ummm… oooo-kay. So i guess that means no photoshop questions right? It’s not that I’m offended, it’s that I’m happily married. Sorry. You’ll have to find another cook.
And since you seem to enjoy it, here, I’ll disect your post for you:
Actually, I thought that was basically a date proposal?
Happily married. Sorry.
You could email personally if it should make you more uncomfortable to address it public.
Not a matter of comfort. Just unavailable.
Oh, ya, I don’t need to know where you live. I am Manhattan, of course.
Of course.
If you are there and like Aryan type guys, drop me an email.
Arian women maybe. Guys don’t float my boat. Sorry again.
I think we could at least chat some more, as I always like a challenge, and I guy who knows how to cook.
As I said before, I come here to help out where I can. If you’d like to chat about photoshop, I’m sure you’ll be obliged as soon as you post a sane photoshop related question.
I am being serious.
That’s a bit scary.
I am toying with you like some cat and a mouse game.
So which is it? Serious or toying? Don’t tease me be-otch! <kidding!>
Follow your instincts,
I did in 1983 when I started dating my beautiful wife.
I can tell that your have to be at least fascinated what I would be like to chat with me some more.
No, not really.
On another hand,
Oh gross.
I just got an email from my friend an Ibiza and turns out that it wasn’t Photoshop that he did my resume on but that it was Quark Express. And he even said that Photoshop would be the wrong program to use. So that clarifies that issues up now. I guess my memory is not as good as I thought.
So there you go. You’re welcome.
Now considering how you always have a smart remarks you had for everything, how come nothing for the last one?
Becasue it’s not photoshop related OR related to your question.
Suddenly I am busting your chops?
All I wanted to do was help. Your taking it into some weird fantasy thing is just, well, weird.
All the other emails before that you never mentioned that as an issue.
Sorry, no comprende that remark.
?You seemed to rentlessly go one like the energizer bunny rabbit.
I do. A’yup.
Don’t be so sensitive, Dave, it doesn’t suit you.
I’m not, and once again, you don’t have any idea WHAT suits me.
I prefer the otherway, it is much more appealing.
So this is your reply then. Glad to help.
See this is what I get for talking to a Marketing type. My little programmer’s brain is going to fry.
Bravo! Well Done! But I thought you were my age and you are obviously a bit older if you met you wife in 1983, I wasn’t even in junior high yet. Resend the last offer, but you would still be interesting to chat with because your a clever. When I have another Photoshop question, I hope youi will come to fill me in. As for fantasy, I don’t to tell you that an active imaginatiion leads to many great things. No need to dissect or reply, you can be spared the reply. Skylar
You are really full of tricks Dave. Actually I haven’t even figured out how it is that two people manage to post messages to each other in the same posting. I would even know if you were Patty, or Len, or whoever else there was. And BTW just now read that posting in which you actually said something vaguely nice about if you are going to go ahead a do this project then tell how it goes or ask if you have any questions, blah, blah, blah. But all the conversation you add below it about other people or cartoons named Skylar pushed it off so I never saw it. 🙂
Heh! Go ahead now, Dave, and egg me on some more. So since weren’t able to succeed in helping in PS. I suppose you wouldn’t mind moving over to the web design area. I am not that great on coding, but I am also not the great yet on using Dreamweaver MX. But I am better with Dreamweaver. And I need some tips on tables. I think I have the CSS down pretty well. But I haing layout problems, maybe your keen eye could assist. Skylar
Have you had enough fun with my name. No SouthPark character are named after me. It’s a Colordo town and my name is too WASPY for that. If you want to know about Skylar, you can google it. There was a famous Captain Skylar in the Civil War to start off with, and it goes from there. Have fun if you really want to know about it. Skylar
You heretic!!! Timmy’s band? Hello?!? Does the name "Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld" ring a bell? Skylar was the guitarist and the thirteen year old baby sitters boyfriend (he’s a winner).
skylar, if you have a real question about tables, best you start a new thread, i have a feeling this one is headed for the great read only thread in the sky. also, posting a new topic in a new thread will get the most eyeballs on it. i do all my coding by hand web and application, so i wouldn’t be much help with MX. but tables i can do. (and have been doing all day!)
Dave, Yes, I agree about posating a new message, I did notice that was a the top of the list with an amazing 80 something responses. I don’t have my table questions formulated yet but I should try and work on them tonight, as I am more accustomted to using MX, though I am trying to build my coding base up because I think it is important to have. So maybe I will have some questions tomorrow. Later. I better hit the web stuff. Nice chatting with you after all. 🙂 Skylar
I don’t remember anything about Lord of the Underworld, though I do remember Timmy. I must have skipped those few months. Well, considering the possibily that one of the writers of the show is called Trent, I suppose, he could see it to think of a ingenious, clever and surreal name as Skylar.
