Sample Text

Post by HaroldMetcalf »

In trying to change the sample text in options, clicking on the name of the sample did not change the sample text. I could only get it to work by selecting the text in options and pasting it into the Sample area.

To change the sample text, just select the style from the Sample pane's drop list:

To edit the default text for any of these default text samples, to add or delete text samples, or to reorder them in the list, you use the Options dialogue, Text Samples.

Copy the sample to the clipboard, select a different sample, then paste in the old one to have more than one showing.
Or type in anything else you want to see.

Many thanks. I thought that I had to use Options to change the sample text.

Ditto! There are a few choices there, but I get nothing on "Greek" :roll:
Perhaps I'm not looking at the right fonts.

I like to be able to see Caps on the front of words to be sure they work.
