Editing Text
Contents
Following is a list of the interpretation text types which can be used in Solar Maps, showing what combinations are available for each, and how they may be used.
• |
Title – A descriptive title for this set of interpretations. This title appears in the File Manager to assist in selecting the required set of interpretations, and as a title to interpretations reports. |
• |
Copyright – A copyright notice. This appears in reports, but can be left blank if you do not wish copyright to apply to your text. |
• |
Introduction – General introductory text. This appears as an introductory section to interpretation reports. It can contain any preliminary comments that you wish, for example explaining how the following interpretations should be applied in practice, and providing disclaimers. |
• |
Aspect – General definition of each aspect. |
• |
Point – Definition of each chart point. |
• |
Point in Aspect to Point – Interpretation of each point in each aspect to each other point. The aspects that may be used here must be selected before you begin editing. See page 1. |
The text following in items TITLE, COPYRIGHT and INTRODUCTION are used at the beginning and end of the Relocation Interpretations report in Solar Maps.
The ASPECT text is used simply to define conjunctions and oppositions.
The POINT entries are used to define the local space influence of each point.
The POINT IN ASPECT TO POINT items are used firstly to define the planet MC, IC, Asc, and Dsc lines (under *planet Conjunction Midheaven, *planet Opposition Midheaven, *planet Conjunction Ascendant, and *planet Opposition Ascendant entries respectively). Secondly they are used to define parans between each pair of points (under *point1 Conjunction point2 entries.)
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.
