Note
Make sure you drag with the pointer over the text. If you don’t, you may select other
content instead.- Move the pointer over the type area to the left, and double-click to insert the cursor and switch
to the Type tool. Press Command+A (macOS) or Ctrl+A (Windows) to select all of the text in
the type area; then type AUG 19th/20th.
Tip
Clicking once in text inserts the cursor. Clicking twice in text selects a word. Clicking
three times selects the entire paragraph in Illustrator.
Click right before the 1 in “19th.” Press Backspace or Delete to remove the space between
“AUG” and “19th.”
Press Shift+Return (macOS) or Shift+Enter (Windows) to add a soft return.
A soft return can be used to simply cause a line of text to break, whereas a hard return or
paragraph return is used to signify the end of a paragraph. Inserting a soft return means all of
the text is still part of the same paragraph.Tip
