Type Layer VS Text Box by Jenifer Juris

Simple Type Layer
- Use a simple type layer for titles and dates.
- To create a simple type layer, get the Horizontal Type tool, click once on the document, type a word or phrase, and click the checkmark to commit the change.
Containing Text Box
- Use a containing text box for journaling.
- To create a containing text box, get the Horizontal Type tool, click and drag a small selection on the document, type a paragraph of journaling, and click the checkmark to commit the change.
- The text box can be transformed while typing by clicking and dragging on the bounding box handles.
