and...

I hava the text layer highlighted....but im still not able to edit
the text on the text layer. This is possible with Photoshop, just
wondering if the GIMP can do it to.

Also..does anyone know a way to make a paragraph easily with the GIMP.
As it is now, I am making a text layer for each line of the paragraph,
then spacing each line to visually make a paragraph. Is there a better
way?

Thanks,
jd
