Editing Inner Text
This section shows how to edit inner text for an object. Remember, if
the object is multistate, the text appears only for the specified state.
Editing inner text for objects without states is somewhat different
than for multistate or list objects. The procedures that follow
describe both options.
To edit inner text for an object without states:
1. Select the object.
2. Click the Inner Text tool on the tool bar.
Or choose Inner Text from the Format menu.
The Format bar shows the current text with the insertion point
following the text.
For numeric data display or numeric entry objects, you’ll see a
variable placeholder /*V*/ with formatting details in the text box.
You can’t delete this variable but you can add text before or after.
Text string number
/*V:6 NOFILL FIX:0*/ |
A number is automatically assigned to each text string in an
application. This number appears to the left of the Text box.
3. Edit the text.
As you edit text, it‘s also entered in the object. If word wrap is
on, text wraps at the beginning of a word, not the middle. (Word
Wrap is set from the Format menu.) An asterisk (*) appears if the
text exceeds the object size.
– To delete text, drag the pointer over the text to highlight it,
then press
BACKSPACE or DELETE.
– To replace text, drag the pointer over the text to highlight it,
then type the new text.
– To add text, position the cursor where you want to insert text
and then type the new text.
Press ENTER to start a new line. The characters /*R*/ are inserted
to indicate a new line.
4. Resize the object, if necessary, to fit all the text.
5. When done, click the Inner Text tool to exit inner text mode.
