Editing text in Paintshop Photo Pro X3

[Norfolkman6]

I am running Windows7 64 bit and although I am fairly OK with most things in X3, there is one very simple thing that is baffling me! How do I edit existing text?

For example:
I create a plain white background.
Click on the "Text" button and add some text.
Click the green "Apply changes" and then do something else e.g add some graphics etc.

How can I then edit the text that was created (Correct a spelling mistake, change font size colour etc)

I am sure this must be so simple and I am missing a trick somewhere! Googling doesn't help much, neither does a 300 page book that I bought.

Please, what am I doing wrong.

Many thanks in advance.

To go back and edit your text, do the following:

• Make sure the vector layer that contains the text is active (click it in the Layers palette)
• Use the Pick tool to select the text object you want to edit (optional)
• If you are adding text, stretch the size of the text object accordingly (optional)
• Select the Text tool
• Hover the mouse over the text; the text cursor will change to show brackets around the A
• Click the mouse at the point where you wish to edit
• Edit the text and click the green "Apply changes" checkmark

Very many thanks.
After I read your reply I realized what was wrong. On the Text Tools, I had Floating text selected instead of Vector.

Changed it to vector, and all is OK
