I have a two colour background with a large word on it. So, the top of the background is white and the bottom is black I would like half of the word to be black and the other half white, so the black portion of the word would be on the white part of the background and the white portion of the word would be on the black portion of the background.

How can I do this? Thanks in advance!!!

-Hold control and click your layer thumbnail.
-This will Select the outline of the text.
-Select marquee tool, but change it to (-) button (found at top right of screen).
-"select" the bottom or top portion.
-Fill with opposite color.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply.

I tried your instructions but I'm a bit lost. I got as far as "Select marquee tool", after that I'm confused. I don't understand what I need to change to (-) and what to select the bottom or top portion of.

Thanks!
