jhbren Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi, ladies! I hope someone can analyze this problem for me. I'm trying to enter text into a journaling space, using PSE 13 on a Mac. I can't seem to enter spaces for an indentation, and when I add a period at the end of a sentence, it jumps to the front of the sentence. I can erase the period from that position, but can't add it to the end. This started last evening, and after fussing for a while, I closed PSE and shut down the computer. Reopened this afternoon - same issue. I've tried changing fonts and/or font sizes, to no avail. I've checked preferences, to see if I changed something inadvertently, but didn't find anything that seemed relevant. Tearing my hair out hasn't helped. Any ideas???

Florida granny Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 This is a new one on me, Jo. I hope someone else comes along who can help! That must be so frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hmmmm.. I'm working on a Mac with PSE 13 too Jo and haven't had this happen. (Shhhh... Knock on wood) Have you tried resetting the text tool or resetting preferences in case something got changed? Let me see if I can find those instructions, Jody once told me how to do it and it usually works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Here's one thread. Doesn't give an answer, but you might want to PM Valerie to see how hers turned out. Post 22 in this thread is where I explain how to reset preferences. Or maybe this might help? thread 2 Do any of these help, Jo? Fingers crossed.

jhbren Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions - I'll try them out after dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhbren Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Still haven't found a solution to the punctuation problem. I followed Marilyn's suggestion to instruct PSE to reset preferences, and shut down PSE overnight. Tried again this morning - same results. It's definitely a PSE problem; text works fine in Word and in the forum. I was able to complete the journaling by typing each sentence, or part thereof, on a separate layer. Then I added the punctuation on another layer, positioned it, and merged the layers. It works, but I definitely don't want to have to do that forever!!! I think the next step is to contact Adobe - after we get back from our cruise. Gotta pack today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I had that happen in Photoshop a month or so ago (so it isn't just a PSE thing). I wish I could tell you what I did to fix it, but it isn't happening anymore. I think for the project I was working on when it was happening, I opened the psd file of another layout, dragged the text box into the problem layout, resized it and then pasted in my text.

April Showers Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Okay, I just looked it up and it looks like you need to go into your type preferences and switch it back to East Asian. It is probably set to Middle Eastern. In PS, it is under Edit>Preferences>Type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
