After you create a text layer, you can edit the text and apply layer commands to it. You can insert new text, change 
existing text, and delete text in text layers. If any styles are applied to a text layer, all text inherits the attributes of those 
styles.

You can also change the orientation (either horizontal or vertical) of a text layer. When a text layer is vertical, the type 
lines flow from top to bottom; when a text layer is horizontal, the type lines flow from left to right.

the text).

When you click in an existing text layer, the Type tool changes at the insertion point to match the orientation of the 
layer.
