Using the Text Editor

In Fireworks 4 and previous versions, the Text Editor was used to create and edit text. All text-
editing and formatting options found in the Text Editor are now located in the Property
inspector. However, you still have access to the Text Editor through the Text menu.
The Text Editor is useful for working with text that might be difficult to edit onscreen, such as
large text blocks, text attached to a path, or text with hard-to-read fonts and sizes. You can choose
to display such text in the system font and default size if necessary to make editing easier.
To display the Text Editor:
Select a text block and choose Text > Editor.
1
Modify and format the text using the options available.
2
Click OK to apply changes and close the Text Editor.
