About The Type Adjustment Tools - MACROMEDIA FREEHAND 10-USING FREEHAND Use Manual

You can edit text in FreeHand using various techniques. To edit text onscreen, you
select it with the Text tool; see "Selecting text" on page 322. You can also edit text
in the Text Editor.
You can check spelling, hyphenate text, use smart quotes, and insert nonprinting
characters to control spacing. You can also change type attributes; see "About the
type adjustment tools" on page 330.
The Text Editor lets you review and edit text that's difficult to edit onscreen—
for example, text that includes nonprinting characters or is contained in envelopes.
For information about envelopes, see "Creating envelopes" on page 227.
You can choose to always use the Text Editor for editing by selecting the
appropriate option in text preferences.
Using the Pointer tool, select the text block you want to edit.
