Edit change text after it's placed

Lucky

This might be obvious, but I can't figure it out. If I placed a text that says "Snowport", and then I want to change it to "Stormport", how do I do that? Thanks!

As far as I know, you have to remove the original, and redo it. I could be wrong though... so I will let the experts chime in!

I'd be really interested to know if there is a way of doing it easily. I spent a lot of time typing the words on my Ethran map over and over again till I got them right ;-)

Click the Numeric Edit button and then select the base of the text.

Alternatively, just type Edit, press Enter, and then select the text.

You can also select Edit>Text>Edit Text from the menu but that strangely requires the extra step of right-clicking and selecting Do It from the pop-up menu after you select the text, where Numeric Edit (Edit) lets you edit the selected text immediately.

I hope that helps.
