Editing the text in a text field

You can edit any text field in a document. One common reason to edit a text field is to update an object name that has been changed in the project. When you rename an object, such as a metric, any text fields that reference that metric are not automatically updated with the new name.

Use the steps below to edit a text field in a document.

To edit a text field
