Hi Team,
I am workin in Photoshop CS2. I have a query regarding the Text tool.

Say, I have made a paragraph given below(excluding the nos) using Text tool:

East or West --------1
India --------2
is the --------3
Best! --------4

Now, supposing I ve to select only lines 1,2 and 4, How do I this?
In MSWord, its simple..just hold down the Ctrl key and select the desired text.
In Photoshop, if I hold down the Ctrl key, the whole text box gets selected.
So whats the way to do in Photoshop?

Thanks Team.
Aman.

You can't select non-contiguous lines in photoshop. Infact, I haven't seen any app other than ms office do this.
