Edit Link Text To Record

[chstech]

help! i have a symbols created a while ago and have a record attached and have linked some text to record fields. i am now trying to clean it up, move and reformat some of the text. i am unable to do this to some of the links. the OIP shows me text editing features, (font, size, formatting) BUT it says it is a group and will not let me move the XY Position OR assign it a class.

Better yet, when editing the symbol, how can i tell what field is linked to the text?

any idea?

TIA,

Drew

Are you editing inside the symbol?

[chstech]

yes Pat i am. the work around i have done for assigning the classes was to just group the text and class the group, but i really would like to know why some of the 'linked text' is selectable and some are not. As for moving it around i was able to do so after i grouped it.

Not the best solution

Thanks

Post a simple version of the symbols that are not working and we will be glad to take a look and see what is happening.
