Make sure you see the dotted rectangle to avoid clicking into the area type paragraph that is already there.

7. Distort and Undo Distort Point Type
7. Distort and Undo Distort Point Type
Point type is different than area type because text gets distorted when you scale the bounding box. With area type, the text flows into the shape of the bounding box without getting distorted.
1. Select the Selection tool n the Tools panel, and notice the bounding box around the text.
2. Drag the bounding point on the right to the right. Notice that the text stretches as you drag any bounding point.
3 Choose Edit > Undo Scale
Don't forget to Edit > Undo Scale
