Hi,

Okay up until about 2 days ago, the text tool in PS was working fine but now when I try and use it, the little blinking bar is extremely small and doesn't work...I reinstalled PS and that didn't do anything and I also reset all tools...So what could the problem be? Frown

Did you change the font size?

Font size affects the blinking bar.

Window -> Character

Then hit the printscreen button on your keyboard. Open a new document and paste or ctrl+v.

Ok. Those settings are all perfect. What happenes when you type something? It just doesn't work? Are you working in a 72 dpi document?

Can you get a screenshot of the problem?

Did you try changing fonts?

Try ARIAL or something..

OR hold up...

Did you click?

Try clicking and dragging the mouse with the text tool until you get a large box, then release mouse button.
