Editing text on the page
You can use the Pointer Tool to edit frame text, table text, or artistic text
directly. On the page, you can select and enter text, set paragraph indents and
tab stops, change text properties, apply text styles, and use Find and Replace.
For editing longer stories, and for more advanced options, choose WritePlus
(Edit Story… from the Edit menu).
Selecting and entering text
The selection of frame text, artistic text, and table text follows the conventions
of the most up-to-date word-processing tools. The selection area is shaded in
semi-transparent blue for clear editing.
Double-, triple- or quadruple-click selects a word, paragraph or all text,
respectively. You can also make use of the Ctrl-click or drag for selection of
non-adjacent words, the Shift key for ranges of text.

1. Select the Pointer Tool, then click (or drag) in the text object. A
standard insertion point appears at the click position (see below),
- or -
Select a single word, paragraph or portion of text.
2. Type to insert new text or overwrite selected text, respectively.
