See Adobe Photoshop: Tips and Tricks for similar articles.When pasting paragraph text into Photoshop, the text often ends up on a single line extending beyond the width of the image, like this:
Photoshop doesn’t make reshaping the text super intuitive, but, like many things, it’s not hard once you know how:
- In the Tools panel, make sure the Horizontal Type Tool is not selected.

- In the Layers panel, right-click on the text layer and select Convert to Paragraph Text.
- To reshape the paragraph text, double-click on the T icon in the text layer:

In this case, you can shrink the image by pressing Ctrl + – until you can see the boundaries of the paragraph text:
- Now you can just grab the bottom-right boundary and reshape the box and then zoom in using Ctrl + +.
