Halllôôô!:-)

1. Recently I clicked somewhere on something
and a box surrounding a ‘direction line’ that
I have drawn for text. A box which allowed me
to alter the angle of the line.

The two text lines (now) are not on the same angle
and I want to click the same click to correct it, but
can not remember where I found the click?
Where is it?

2. How do I combine (or join:-) two or or more layers
to form one picture. Flattening does not seem to be
the answer, ande searching in the help directory is
sending me te Imageready (combining slices).

I have created a logo existing out of text & pics.
Want to combine and save it for future use, ‘cos
I think it’s grand. Wat nou?

so funny no one reacted on this.
There is a way to alter the angle
of the direction line (line tool)
even if there is already text
on it,
and I have done it, but can
not find it again. Not even
in the help dir.

I don’t know about the other people here, but I cannot quite understand you Dave. What is a direction line? Are you meaning text on a path, and are you are the path a direction line? Is this a straight line or a curve. If you can be clearer on what you are asking, I am sure someone can answer you quite easily. Also, I could not relate flattening the image to what you are trying to do here?

Dave,

If all you are wanting to do is take some text on a path and rotate it ….. then select the path and click on Edit > Free Transform Path (Ctrl-T) and a bounding box appears. You can then rotate the whole thing freely to whatever angle you so desire by moving your cursor to just outside one of the corners of the bounding box till the cursor changes to rotation handles. There is box on the property bar which shows you the angle you are rotating to. Click on the "tick" when you have the angle you require to complete the editing.

I hope that is what you were wanting. All the best,
Brian.

That is exactly what I want, Brian! Thanx a lot therefore:-) I now I have used CTRL-T to lengthen a underscore and
then co-incidentaly pressed it again and saw the box.
And could not remember where I got it from.

Up to now I had to do the second line (text on a path)
a few times by trail and error untill it corresponds

As I said, that is the box I were looking for.
All the best over there as well:-)

Dave

ns.
and thanks for the effort to figure out
what I said:-)
