How to copy text from Photoshop to text editor

adobe-photoshop

I have a Photoshop file where I have a text layer with a very long paragraph. I would like to copy and paste the text to the editor where I write XHTML markup instead of rewriting it.

How can I do that? Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V doesn't work.

I have Photoshop CS4.

Find the text layer in the layers list. Double-click layer icon (with the "T" on it). This will automatically select the text in the layer. Then you can use the copy and paste functionality (Control-C to copy).

**You can only do this if the text is not rendered into pixels yet. So as long has you haven't done this, it will work.
