Selecting Text

When a text entry box is displayed, you can add and modify selected text.

To display text in a text entry box, select a text object and choose Edit Text (Cmd-E) from the Edit menu or select the Text tool on the tool palette, then click a text object.

• Double-click a word or drag across it to highlight it.

• Drag across a portion of text to highlight it. To select a range of text from the current text insertion point, Shift-click to place the insertion point where you want the selection to end.

• Choose Select All (Cmd-A) from the Edit menu to select all text in the text entry box.

Note: The Edit Text command is not available for text components in graph objects.
