Converting Point Text to Paragraph and Vice Versa

As we know, there are two texting modes in PSE - "single-line" and "paragraph".

We add a single-line (in Photoshop terms, "point") text by clicking with the Type tool. Each line of such a fragment is independent. To start a new line we have to press the the [Enter] key (upper screenshot).

To add a "paragraph", we define its boundaries by dragging with the Type tool. Paragraph text wraps automatically (lower screenshot).

Each method has its own pros and cons. This set of actions allows us to switch between the two modes on the fly.

Convert to Point Text To turn existing "paragraph" to "point" (single-line) text, apply the "Convert to Point Text" command.

Convert to Paragraph TextAnd vice versa, "Convert to Paragraph Text" turns point text to paragraph.
