Text Editing Enhancements

There are a pair of noteworthy enhancements to MicroStation's text editing functionality in the 2004 Edition.

Shortcut for editing a text element

There is a shortcut for editing a text element:

1. Select the Element Selection tool.

2. Position that tool's arrow pointer on the text element you want to edit.

3. Double-click the Data button.

   This activates the Edit Text tool. The Text Editor window opens and the element's text is selected.

Tabs and indents

The Word Processor Text Editor window has a ruler for setting tab stops and indents. The ruler works like the rulers in basic word processing applications. To open a dialog box for keying in tab stops and indents, right-click the ruler and choose the item in the pop-up menu.
