Type doesn't move to another line?
Jason S. asks: I'm in PS CS and when I'm using the text tool my type doesn't move to another line.  Every time I hit enter it starts at the beginning of the same sentence and writes over the words already typed out.  In the end I have a bunch of sentences typed over each other.  Do you know what's causing this?

 

Answer: The Leading setting (it looks like to capital A's stacked on top of each other) controls the line spacing... it's found in the Character palette (get to it via the Window menu). I'm guessing that it's set really low. Also, when you first click with the type tool, click and drag to create a column width instead of just clicking and letting go of the mouse button. That way you won't have to press Return to create a new line.
