Selecting Through Text to a Layer Beneath

I am having trouble selecting a layer that is beneath a layer of text. This layer of text has several lines in it and I can see the layer beneath. If I use the move tool with auto select on (and set to Layer, not Group), I should be able to select a layer that matches the top-most item that I click onto in my document.
So if I have a square laying on top of a circle and I click the square, the layer with the square is selected. And if there is a layer of text on top of the square, I am able to auto-select the text by clicking on any letter. BUT the problem is that I need to be able to select the square even when I am clicking between the letters and lines of the text layer.
Right now, I have to click outside the complete "boundaries" of the text to get to the layer beneath (by "boundaries", I mean the top an bottom and left and right sides of where the text exists on the layer... and this happens no matter if the text was created by dragging out a text box or not... i.e. point type or paragraph type).
If memory serves, I could do this in Photoshop CS1 just by clicking between letters or lines. As long as I wasn't clicking on a "pixel" of text (yes, it is live text, but I hope you get my gist), I'd be able to select the layer beneath.
Any help? I cannot find any setting for changing this. I hope I'm not stuck with this... THANKS!

OK...further:
In my reply above, I was testing with and referencing PS CS2. My reply simply detailed what you were talking about, in different, metaphorical terms. I rather blindly ignored your question about any differences between Photoshop versions.
So, I opened up PS 7, and tried the same thing...
Layer 0 (promoted from
Background)
Rectangular Shape Layer
3 lines of double spaced text, all of which fit well within the area defined by the shape layer.
With "Auto Select Layer" checked, and "Show Bounding Box"
UN
-checked in the Options Bar:
Start by clicking on "Layer 0" and it becomes highlighted in the Layers Palette.
...Click on the edge of the Rectangular Shape Layer, and the Layers Palette reflects this selection.
...Click on one of the letters, and that text layer is selected, as shown in the Layers Palette.
...Click on the space between the lines of text, and the rectangular Shape Layer is again selected.
BUT!
If you CHECK the "Show Bounding Box" option, the space between the lines of text no longer has the "Click-through-to-the-shape-layer-below" capability. You have to click outside of the "TBB".
Now, let's compare that behavior to the way it works in PS CS2; The significant difference is this:
It doesn't matter whether you have the "Show Transform Controls" box checked or UNchecked in the Move Tool's Option Bar choices, that space between lines of text no longer has the "Click-through-to-the-shape-layer-below" capability. That "sheet of glass" that the text layer sits on is ALWAYS there, so you have to go round the side to get at the box underneath.
NOTICE! The difference. Not only has the behavior changed, but the name for the function in the Options Bar has changed from "Show Bounding Box" to "Show Transform Controls." Because I updated directly from PS 7 to PS CS2, I don't know what took place with any changes in PS CS (1). And since I don't use PS CS3, I don't know if anything else has changed.
Sooo, bottom line is you'll just have to experiment, and figure out what works best for you, and then just resign yourself to the fact that it's just the way it works now.

  • When i select a text layer and invert it (black to white) the whole picture gets inverted

    when i select a text message an invert it, the whole picture gets inverted  - waht am I doing wrong?

    Incidentally, if the text layer is the only visible layer you will need to simplify it before you can invert it.

  • I can't fill any text in a layer regardless I select text input command.

    How can I figure out the problem ?
    At the moment, when I try to type some text in the layer, any text is fiiled in layer name.

    When you use the type tool, the text comes in on a separate layer. So, if you open a picture file, that will be identified as the background, and the text will be on a separate layer above this. Once you click on the green check mark, the information will be on the layer with the text and you should see it in the layers palette.
    If you don't see the text content .in the work area, be sure that the font color contrasts with the background. You may have to increase the pt size of the font on the type tool's option bar, as you are not limited to the default values in the drop-down. Highlight the value on display and enter a higher number - try 110 or 140 .

  • Image through text

    Hello
    I'm new in Illustrator and would like to know how I could make an image appear in a text
    I think the image should be used as background, the text as foreground and i should "make a hole" from the text to see the image through it
    But, <I don't find the right way !
    Thanks

    If I read you correctly what you want to do is make a layer mask. So that any image or art place under the mask on that layer will be masked by the text
    and that you can easily move the underlying art as well as the mask independently or together as you wish.
    simply create some text then select the by selecting the text and at the bottom of the layers panel click the layer mask icon and there you are.
    But to be honest with you there are reasons you would want the mask to apply to the layer and reasons you would want it to  be a clipping mask or an opacity mask
    An opacity mask I think is not necessary for what you want in this case as it is tied to what ever it masks.
    There is no need to vectorize the text in any of the cases that Jacob discribed. Nor with a layer mask.

  • Can't select vertical text formatting since Win 7

    Please help.
    Have recently upgraded to win 7 and now I cannot select any text formatting options in the drop down text menus. I can see them, but the drop down menu buttons don't work.
    Has anyone had this happen?
    I have spent so much time on the computer and it's so hard to get any work done.
    Advice would be much appreciated
    I would like to go back to XP but the computer guy says that's not possible.
    Thanks

    Thank you so much for responding Peter. I feel one step closer to being able to get my work done.
    Your solution means that I can now use the tools in the tools palette, but no luck with being able to use the text selection drop down menus.
    It's quizzical. I can select the fonts by clicking through file the file path> type> font. Just not through drop downs.
    Any thoughts anyone?

  • How do I copy text from one layer to  another?

    I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
    OK, so  I  have a layer that  has some text in it.  I would like to  be able to  simply copy that  text  from one layer  to  another, but this seems to  be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard.  I can paste it into  the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
    This is how I am trying to  do  this.
    In the layer  with the text, click on the "T" icon to  the left.
    Click on the text, in the layer that I  want to  copy. 
    I select the text (either  by  clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
    Next I press Command-C.
    Then I  click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to  paste the text.
    Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
    WHY??????
    Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text  from one layer to  another?

    First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  But that will create a new Text Lay
    er identical to the one you have.
    To answer your question in your case....  Create the Text Layer.   Make a New Layer.  Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
    Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
    Edit>Copy.
    Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

  • Received a picture mail through text messaging. How do I save it? On the Palm Pre

    I received a picture via text message and when I click on the image, it says copy photo at the bottom. So I click copy photo and then a screen comes up and says "photo successfully copied." One question, where does the copied photo go? I go to my photo album and it is no where to be found. Also, when I click the top left corner of the screen, it doesn't allow me to paste. So where does the copied photo go? And when I receive pictures through text messages or SMS messages, can I save them to my photo album? Thanks for your help.

    Ok, well I opened up my text message with the picture, clicked on the picture and it said "copy photo." Clicked "copy photo" and it said photo was successfully copied. Went to my photos and I only have three (photo album options) to select from. Photo roll, All images and wallpapers. There isn't an option for messaging and the picture is not in the "all images album". Unless I'm doing something wrong, I still cannot find my copied photo.

  • Unable to select 'Art Text' object.

    Hi,
    Not sure whether this happens only to me. I just added one image (jpg) through Insert -> File options changed it opacity, then I selected the art text tool for adding some text.
    But after adding the art text and when I tried to select the text, Instead of selecting the art text, I was only able to select the background jpg.
    Can anyone shed some light here?.

    Hello,
    It would be beneficial for the development team to take a look at the file.
    When the text is above the image it should work as  expected. When it is behind, the image  will be selected. You can always select "blocked" objects with help of  the "Objects" Panel on the left.
    Thanks,

  • Selection screen text not appearing in other than engllish language .

    Hello All,
                On selction screen I have 3 select-option and 2 radio button for that I have the  selection text maintain in 'Selection Text".
                When I login to system using French language then on selection screen only select options text  is appearing in French language and Radio buttons text is not appearing in French language, it appearing in English  language. In the program where I have maintain the selction text one column is there name as  "Dictionary Object" which has the check box. In that, for select options check box is check in Dictionary object but for Radio button that check box is in disable mode.
                 So how can Radio buttons text is appearing in French language when login through french language.

    You've two options.  One, log in in French and maintain the texts for the radio buttons directly.  Two, use tx SE63 to maintain the texts for the radio buttons in French.
    The select-options are automatically translated because their texts come from the data dictionary, and (as presumably they're SAP standard types), they're already translated as part of the French language pack.  But the radio-buttons you have to do yourself.

    How to vertical select a text in iWord.  Like we do in Mac version of MS Word by Command Option [and selecting]

    m0thr4 wrote:
    I want to make sure all text in my document is a particular font (at least), but Cmd+a only selects any text that is not in a table. There seems to be no way to include text in tables, or even a way to change the format of all text in a particular table (MS Word allows the whole table to be highlighted for example).
    A double click in a cell selects it so you may enter what you wish in it.
    Select the cell A1 then, pressing the shift key, click in the right-bottom cell.
    Doing that you will get every table's cells selected which gives the ability to apply global attributes.
    I've searched the built-in help and found "To select all text in a document, choose Edit > Select All." This does not work as tables are excluded from this selection. If tried some of the other suggestions, such as holding down shift while selecting text in tables, but as soon as I get to the end of the text in one cell, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that some words are missing in the Help. Select All selects all the text … of the text layer.
    We must apply the settings to the text layer, to each text box, to each table.
    Of course, you may _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

  • How to see through text?

    I've read some online advice about this, but perhaps my question is more complex.  I want to see through text, so a flag photo shows up inside of it.  But below that is another photo (suitcase).  So the text with the flag photo  inside is on top of a suitcase image.    So, how to do?  Mucho many thanks in advance!

    In this case it might be easiet to convert the text to outlines (select the frame not the text itself, so you get a "compund path"), then cut the image and select the type you converted, paste into.

I am using CS5 (just upgraded recently) in Windows.  I am not sure why I can't select them (the text appears in light grey and isn't available for selection). Thank you!

    Thank you Chris - it was in LAB mode and i changed it RGB and all is well. I hope i marked your answer correctly.

  • Video through text

    Why can't I send a video or song through text message?

    They have to be under the size limit of 1.2MB, the best way to send a video through MMS is to open a message and select attach video and camcorder from option and then record, you should see that on the screen it will say you can capture 1.2mb or 1200kb.  Emails can handle larger files but the size will depend on the email providers network limits.
    Size limit is discussed at http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/video-size-limit-on-MMS-htc-incredible/td-p/202887
    If you are going to send a number of videos and audio files I would look into a Dropbox, it is just a simpler method of transferring files..  

  • Using the CTRL button to select multiple text segments in Design Editor

    Hi there,
    This may be a fairly elementary question, however I'm very new to RoboHelp.
    I'm currently building an online help text system, and when formatting my html files in Design Editor, I have to apply styles one at a time. I was hoping RoboHelp would have a function identical to Microsoft Word whereby holding down the CTRL key would allow you to select various segments in the file and apply the style. Eg. selecting only text you want to apply Heading 3 to.
    If RoboHelp does not have this functionality, this project will take me in the vicinity of 7 years to complete. Thanks for your time.
    Regards,

    No it doesn't work that way. What you need to do is create some character styles in your style sheet and apply those.
    Paragraph styles are defined something like
    P {
        font-size: 10pt;
        margin-top: 0pt;
        margin-bottom: 6pt;
        font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
        color: #000000;
        font-weight: normal;
    P.Normal-Indent {
        margin-left: 20pt;
    where the second P definition will inherit all that is in P plus add the indent.
    When you select those styles, they will be applied to the whole paragraph.
    You can also create characters classes. If you do it within RoboHelp, RH will write the CSS code for you. If you edit the CSS outside RH, then instead of writing P or some other tag, you would normally start with the full stop so you might have
    .code {
        font-size: xx-small;
        font-family: Courier;
    to apply the Courier font to a selection in any paragraph style.
    In RoboHelp you need to prefix the character code with "span" to make it display in the dropdown, thus you would need:
    span.code {
        font-size: xx-small;
        font-family: Courier;
