Overview of Changing Text
Text, whether created with TEXT, MTEXT, or MLEADER can be modified like
any other object.
You can move, rotate, erase, and copy it. You can change text properties in
the Properties Inspector palette.
You can also edit the contents of existing text and create a mirror image of
it. The MIRRTEXT system variable controls whether text is also reversed when
you mirror objects in your drawing.
Change Single-Line Text
You can change the contents, formatting and properties of single-line text.
You can change single-line text with DDEDIT and PROPERTIES. Use DDEDIT
when you need to change only the content of the text, not the formatting or
properties of the text object. Use PROPERTIES when you want to change
content, text style, location, orientation, size, justification, and other
properties.
Text objects also have grips for moving, scaling, and rotating. A text object
has grips at the lower-left corner of the baseline and at the alignment point.
The effect of a command depends on which grip you choose.
Change Multiline Text
You can change the location and content of multiline text objects with the
Properties Inspector palette, the In-Place Text Editor, and grips.
