I would like to write a paragraph in Photoshop which is both left and right justified (just as if it were done in Microsoft Word). Photoshop doesn’t seem to support right justification nor equal line spacing as in a regular paragraph). I tried doing this in Word – then scanning (importing) the paragraph into Photoshop CS. However, the letters (a True Type script font) seem "bloated" so that they are hard to read even when printed out on photo paper (for instance, in letter "w", the lines run in to each other). I tried the sharpening tools and the unsharp mask – none of which worked.

Again, what I’m trying to achieve is a paragraph which is both left and right justified – with clear, sharp text. The result will go into a picture frame. Can anyone help? Thanks………

Select the Type tool, create a box of the correct size before typing, and have at it.

Quick, before you get told that PS isn’t the right tool. Never, however, NEVER, import anything from MS into PS……

Select the Text tool. Click then drag and a ‘box’ will appear. Type in that box. Not inutitive, but an exceedingly useful feature which I’m sure you will enjoy now that you see it.

Not even copypaste text from MS Word? Why is that?

Will this right justify the text?

Not automatically and not from the text bar on the top.
Select the text. Then click on "Palettes" in the type bar across the top. On the Paragraph Palette click on the box that shows the type justified left and right.
You can cut and paste text from Word into a text box in Photoshop. Make a text box (click on the T then click and draw a box on the file) and then paste the text into the text box.

LOL … even better, draw a box and type some text and SEE what it does (or doesn’t do) …

Try this one
Double click the text layer that you want to apply the desired formatting. From window menu choose show paragraph, here you will find the desired formatting like that of MS word. You can do this one on Adobe Photoshop 6.0, 7.0 but I am not sure you will find this in earlier versions.

Why are you doing this in Photoshop? Why aren’t you doing it in Word or a page layout tool? What’s your goal?
