Tips for Tranquil
Text Tweaking
Keep these ideas in mind
when touching up text:
•
If you need to select an
entire paragraph, use
the shortcut keys Ctrl+A
(Command+A).
•
To add new text, with the
TouchUp Text tool active,
Ctrl-click (Option-click)
within the document
where you want to add
the text. The New Text
Font dialog opens with
the default options: Arial
text and horizontal writ-
ing mode. Select the font
and writing mode (hori-
zontal or vertical), and
click OK. The default text
“New Text” displays on
the page. Select it, and
then type the new text.
Click outside the new
line of text to finish the
process.

Only fonts with a verti-
cal writing mode will
write vertically. An error
message means you’ve
selected a horizontal-
only font.
