shadow85.... add a clipping mask to the gradient layer (clipping it to the text).... this will ensure the gradient only shows up within the text.

>> Move it all the way out of the text so that you can't see it (left);

You should to move your layer to the left (using your keyboard left arrow button) until the gradient gets to the place, left to "MickM" text

>> Press right until you see the gradient move to the other side of the text-area;

Do the same as in previous description but to the opposite direction (to the right).

ok after this step im lost.
When in Image-Ready, select the gradient-layer;

What do you mean by:
Move it all the way out of the text so that you can't see it (left);

does that mean i just move the layer all-the-way out to aside? im confuse...

And after that how do i do this:
Press right until you see the gradient move to the other side of the text-area;

What botton do i press?

Everytime i try to do this piece of work it always turns out wrong cause i get confuse on those steps.
Help please.....
