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.

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.
