Editing a Label

Once a label has been created it can be edited.

  1. Ensure that you are in edit mode and select the label. To select the label, there are two options.  

  2. The first is simply click on the label on the map.  

  3. The second is to select the label from the object list. Both will perform the same basic task, with the exception that when you select a label from the list, the map will pan to the label in question.

  4. Once selected, the properties list will be displayed and the label will switch to an editable mode.
