Format and edit text

The quickest method of editing text with detailed editing control is to use the Property inspector. As an alternative to the Property inspector, use commands in the Text menu.

Important: Changes you make during a text-editing session constitute only one Undo. Choosing Edit > Undo while editing text will undo every text edit you've made from the time you double-clicked the text block to edit its contents.

  1. Do one of the following to select the text you want to change:

    • Click a text block with the Pointer or Subselection tool to select the entire block. To select multiple blocks simultaneously, hold down Shift as you select each block.

    • Double-click a text block with the Pointer or Subselection tool, and then highlight a range of text.

    • Click inside a text block with the Text tool, and then highlight a range of text.

  2. Change the text or to the font. Fonts are measured in points.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Click outside the text block.

    • Select another tool in the Tools panel.

    • Press Escape.
