Adobe Photoshop/linking text boxes

Expert: - 9/18/2008


Question
Sometimes, I will not be able to fit all my text in a single text box. If there is extra text that I want to continue within a new text box, I want to create linked boxes that will continuously carry my text, even as I edit it, from page to page. Now... How do I do this in Photoshop?

Answer
Hi C,

While Photoshop has continued to enhance it type handling capabilities it is still not a layout program. You cannot link text boxes in Photoshop. I would suggest you place the images in InDesign or Quark.
