Pasting into a selection
I am using Adobe Photoshop. I have text selected, and I want to paste test that I copied from notepad INTO the text (selected in the photoshop picture). The problem is that I cannot click on "Paste into". Any ideas on what I need to do?
Thanks.

Not 100% sure about the question, but....
Use the magic wand tool and the shift key together to select each letter of the text that will get stuff pasted into.
Then paste into appears.

Hmm... text you copied from notepad? I don't think you can paste that as an image in photoshop, unless you first create a new image using the text tool with that text.

... or use print scrn to capture the text and the window and use that.

as noted before, only way I can find to do it is. Copy the text with Notepad, open new file (colours optional, transparency optional), select Type tool, click on new image to open the typing window, press Ctrl-V to paste the text. Play with font size/style/colour, etc.
Copy the text selection (well the text image now), click on image where you want to paste into, then magic wand to select parts of the image, then paste into.

Just to throw my 2 cents in. CTRL+C(copy) CTRL+V(paste). Worked fine for me, from notepad to photoshop. In order to make the text into an editable layer though, you must go to Layer-Edit-RenderLayer.
