12. You can do it in two ways:<br />

Use the Move Tool and select Move the active layer from the Move options.<br />

When being within the frame, the mouse pointer turns into . Left click on the<br />

area to which you want to move the text. Move the text. The resulting image<br />

looks like this:<br />

Note!<br />

If you need to move the text very precisely, use keyboard keys . Pressing one of<br />

these keys you can move the selected object to the direction you want by one pixel. If<br />

you press the arrow and the SHIFT key together, the object is moved to the direction<br />

you want by 25 pixels.<br />

Paint several strokes with the Paintbrush Tool. If the text layer is active, you can paint<br />

strokes in the text frame only. Paint several strokes.<br />

Now, the text box contains a raster graphics object (paintbrush strokes) and a vector<br />

graphics object (the text).<br />

If you try to edit the text now, the programme displays a confirmation. The text layer<br />

cannot edit raster and vector graphics at the same time, hence when you try to<br />

compare them, the programme offers either to create a new layer and to place the text<br />

in it, or to remove the paintbrush strokes and work on this text layer when it contains<br />

the text only.
