That's it exactly. Photoshop is strictly image-based, it doesn't really
know that what you put in is text. Just running it through OCR would
get you the result you needed. Note that there is no tagging function
in Photoshop, like there is in text-based programs like Acrobat, Word,
etc.

Hope that helps.
