Selecting and Moving Text?

I hate to even ask, but I have searched and tried different things and I cant figure it out. Once I have added text and clicked off of it, how do I select it again to edit and move it?

Sorry if dumb question.

You can move it, but not edit it:

Select the text with the rectangular select tool then use the move pixels tool.

or just keep your text on a different layer, that way moving it doesn't effect the rest of your image.

Thanks for the help. Being new, the layers take some getting used to. I am just spending a lot of time (when I should be working) playing with different methods.

After you write your text, but before you click "enter", you can touch the arrow to one of the dotted lines in the text box and that allows you to move the text box. Found this out by trial and error.

Dee, this thread is nine years old. The original poster is probably a grandparent by now :D

Let's keep the forum current by ignoring old posts like this. Thanks.
