Moving text

To move text

You can move vector and raster text anywhere in an image. You can move the text after it is fitted to the path by selecting it and dragging it along the path. PaintShop Pro aligns text based on the nearest point where the text meets the path.

Important! To move raster text that is on a layer with other raster information, such as raster shapes or brushstrokes, you must isolate the text. You can use a selection tool, such as the Magic Wand tool, to select and move the text. For more information about making selections, see Creating selections.

You can also move text to another layer by cutting and pasting it onto another layer.

• the end of the text if the text was right-aligned
