Now you have to get kind of creative with your returns and resizing the text box which you can come back and do later. Another option is to simply predefine the area where you would like your text to go. Simply do that by selecting the text tool again and draw a marquee for the area where I would like to confine my text. Let's see how this works. Well look there, my text is now confined to an area that we have determined.
