OK, I had this problem before, "PS6?", can't remember what it was but I will have a think and get back to you. I do remember it being something really simple though, one of those "DOH!" moments. roda B-)

The problem was when you hit enter (return) the cursor goes back to the beggining of the same line, line one.

ALad, sorry I havent got back, I've kinda been waiting for it to happen again and it won't, not even on purpose, and I can't remember how I fixed it. roda B-)

I tried to re-create the problem and could seem to make it do what your saying. The cursur dropped to the next line every time I hit enter/return.

hi,

Found the answer, its this way.

In type tool - there's an option called leading
enter number 12 or 24 or more than type the letters
it works.

Any new suggestion welcomed.

Thanks,

Lad

I'm not sure just what you're after...
But I have had similar problems.
Type your first line.

Select type tool again, and click anywhere
Type the next line
This should produce a new text layer.

You can then use the move tool to adjust the positions of the layers.
Let me know if this doesn't help:

Alad are quit right.
Select all the text in the “Type Tool” window and change the “Leading” value.

The Leading value is the distance between the baselines, based on the units you have defined in this window.

This function eases justifying your multiline text a lot.
