To type characters into a text object

You can type characters into the object after you add the object to the form.

By default, the Make Fixed-Size Text Objects Auto-Fit While Editing option on the Workspace panel of the Tools > Options dialog is selected. This option allows the width and height of text objects to expand as you type characters. To expand only either the width or height of a text object, deselect Make Fixed-Size Text Objects Auto-Fit While Editing and then select the appropriate Expand To Fit option on the Layout palette.

1.	Select Edit and ensure that the Lock Text and Lock Static Objects commands are not selected.

2.	Double-click the text object and type the characters you want to add.
