Editing text
There are two editing modes used with the Text Tool. You can either change the text using the text cursor or by changing a selected region of text
To edit text with
the text cursor
1. Choose the Text Tool.
2. Click in the text object to insert the text cursor.
3. Edit the text as required (see List of Text Tool Key Shortcuts).
To edit text selections
When a region of text has been selected (see Selecting text) you can:
Apply attributes to the
selected region - see Applying
attributes to text
Replace the selected region
by typing new text.
To scale and stretch
text
You can use either the Text Tool (see Changing the size of text or Changing the aspect ratio of text) or the Selector Tool (see Scaling objects or Stretching objects).
For information on changing the width of a column text object, see Resizing column text.
Tip
Whenever the text cursor
is moved it takes on the attributes of the character to its left.
