Changing text in label field

This seems to be such a basic problem that feel sure that I must be missing something obvious. How does one change the text displayed in a label field in edit mode?

I can alter the font, the weight, and the size. However, nothing I have tried will let me change the text itself. I have checked every reference to "label" in the User Guide, scanned the Forums and spent more than a couple of hours googling, but still haven't been able to find the solution. What am I missing?

Hi Alistair,

Open the property inspector for that label field. Go to the contens pane, change the contents.

Frankly, I never use abel fields. I create a normal field for each label I need and enter the contents I need. When ready, I select all meant-to-be label fields and use the property inspector to change the opaque, traversalOn, lockText etc etc etc for all fields at the same time.

Best,

Mark
