question on writing text?

hi im new here. Ok, u know on psp7 when ever u write a text this window pops out and u have to write ur text inside that window and make it any color u want or any font u want, then press ok and ur text is written on the image. How come that doesnt do it on photoshop shop, it u have to type it down on the image after clicking on a spot and i can't move the text around after that. Does any of u guys know how to make that window appear whenever u write text.
thnx in advance.

If you click the "move" tool (top right tool), on the tool palette, you can move your text anywhere you want.

Older versions of photoshop had the box pop-up like you are referring to. But now it just puts it on the screen, which is actually a much better method. And like MBB said, just select the move tool and you can move the text where ever you want.

ok thnx this stuff is really new to me and thnx for ur advice

you have to be sure the text layer is selected, though
