CHAPTER 27 TEXT EDITING AND PROOFING You can insert, search, replace, move, delete, copy, and spell check text in Canvas documents. This chapter describes how to navigate through text for editing, how to make text selections, and how to use spelling tools and the Find feature for text search-and-replace. Text edit mode To edit text, put a text object in edit mode. In edit mode, you can revise, delete, insert, and select specific text. Only one object is in text edit mode at a time. You can put a text object in edit mode with the Text tool or the Selection tool. When you put a text object in edit mode, the text object becomes opaque, the selection handles disappear, and a flashing insertion point appears. Also, the Text tool becomes the active tool. To enter edit mode using the Text tool:  Select the Text tool and click in a text object. An insertion point appears where you click, and you can begin typing or editing. To enter edit mode using the Selection tool:  With the Selec- tion tool, double-click a text object. If you double-click on a word, the word becomes selected and is highlighted. The Text tool is selected, and you can begin typing or editing. To edit text bound to a path:  With the Path Text tool or the Text tool, click the text. An insertion point appears in the bound text, and you can begin typing or editing.
