  • Cursor will not go to next line will creating text.

    I’ve got this problem in AE (CS 5.5), when writing text, and I come to the end of a line, and I hit return, the cursor goes back to the beginning of the original sentence instead of skipping down to next line below it.
    I can write a new sentence but it is on top of the first sentence instead of below it.
    Have I clicked some sort of strange cursor parameter?
    How do I get it write normally?

    Post a screen grab that shows the comp window, paragraph and character windows.

    Glad you figured it out. Just for future reference you can post images directly here, it’s the third icon from the end.

    Cheers.
