I don't know if i was clear enough on the topic about the subject but here i go anyway lol.

I basically just want to know how to change the angle of the text, not just 90 degree's or anything but to be able to pick the angle.
Thank you.

Well what you could do is move to the end of the text box and you will see the tilt arrows which you can use to tilt the text however you want.  Just click and either go up or down for until you got the angle you want.

You mean the warped text thing?
I don't think you can make it like that, i'm not sure but i mainly want the text to be / that kind of slant but still the same text, if you get what i mean

Once you've typed in the text, grab the arrow tool and rotate it accordingly?

Yep, just hit Ctrl+T (shortcut for free transform tool), then move your cursor to the edge of the text until you see a curvy arrow with 2 heads. Then just click and rotate. If you want to type in an exact degree, I don't think you can do that in photoshop.

I think you can. When you've got free transform on you should be able to see some number underneath the tabs, Stuff like the Height and Width percent etc. At the right side there should be a picture of an angle. Then just type the exact number there... Maybe I'll post a screen tomorrow.

I just tried it, I couldn't find any angle. The most exact you can get is using the 90% and 180% options when you right-click with Ctrl+T on.

You can type an exact angle with Illustrator though.

oh oops lol how did I miss that :x well illustrator is still easier. And there's one thing photoshop can't do: typing along a path. Or maybe you know some way to do that too. :/

Take an ellipse tool or whatever you want and select path and then type :D.
