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:
1.
Select a text block and select Text > Editor.
2.
Modify and format the text using the options available.
3.
Click OK to apply changes and close the Text Editor.
To view text in the system font:
Deselect Show Font in the Text Editor.
To view text in the default size:
Deselect Show Size & Color in the Text Editor.
