Editing multiple text objects?

Post by terrypin »

I've selected a dozen text entries. I can move them, etc, but I seem unable to edit the text font size. Is that not possible? In PSP 8?

That is a little ambiguous.
Are the text entries on different layers or the same layer?
But it does not matter . In PSP 8 you use the Object Selector tool to select all your text objects whether they are on the same layer or different layers . That gives you the tool options for the Object Selector and you cannot access the Text options.
You also cannot select more than one layer in PSP 8 if the text objects are on different layers.

In PSP 2018 (time for you to get used to that ) you can select different layers in the layers palette by holding the control key. You also have access to the text tool and can change the choices on the toolbar but that will not change the actual text.

Short answer No you cannot edit multiple text objects on the same or different layers.
In both PSP 8 you can click the + sign beside the Vector layer to reveal the different layers with text on them. To edit that text you must double click the layer with the text object on it and then you can change the font , size in the Text box.

For 2018 it is a white down arrow and that revals teh lifferent layers with text on them. Here you can use Control and click different layers to allow you to move each text object or double click a single text layer to edit that layer re font and size etc. Then double click another text entry layer to edit that text, but you cannot edit all the entries ate the same time.
