If you are creating a new set of interpretations, you will probably want to edit the title and introduction text first. Otherwise you may wish to jump into any category of text that you wish to work on currently.

>> To find the text category that you wish to edit

1.Select the required type from the Interpretation Type drop-down list box.

2.Select the required combinations from the adjacent drop-down list boxes.

Any existing text for that category will be displayed immediately in the main editing window, and you may type over it, add to it, or otherwise edit it as you wish. Any changes that you make are automatically saved as soon as the focus leaves the editing window, or when you click on any other control on the screen or access the menu. You do not need to take any special action to save changes that you make.

On some occasions you may find that you have made an error, and wish to undo any changes that you have made to the text. You are able to undo any changes made since you edited the last category of text, but not any changes made prior to that.

>> To undo text changes made since the current topic was displayed

•Select the Undo Text Editing option from the Edit menu.

If you change your mind again, selecting the same option again will restore your edited changes.
