Editing Captions

When you point the Text tool at a caption, the tool appears as an I-beam.

· Click to place an insertion point and begin editing.

· Press and drag to select a block of text to replace.

· Double-click to select the word under the cursor.

· While editing, drag the caption’s resize handle to resize the caption and reflow its contents.

· Hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) while pressing one of the arrow keys to set the text alignment. Use the left arrow for left alignment, the right arrow for right alignment, and either the up or down arrow for centered alignment.

When you create a caption, by default Sketchpad displays the Text Palette. You can change the font, size, style, or color of selected caption text by using this palette or by using text commands in the Display menu. The Text Palette also contains symbolic notation tools for adding mathematical text to your caption.

You can turn off this default behavior using Text Preferences, and instead use Show Text Palette to summon the Text palette as needed.

To finish editing, press the Esc key or click anywhere outside the caption.
