Editi text in place with macro

Hello,

I'm trying to create button with macro to edit existing text in place, with predefined text with macro ....

For example, existing text is "Old text", and I want this text (or whatever I select) to edit in place with click on macro button to change it to "New text".

Thank you in advance ...

Couldn't that be handled with Find & Replace just as well?

Yes it can, but if you have buttons with predefined text it would be much faster ...

Give us a real world example.

Old text =

New text =

Are you doing this to correct text in a large number of drawings?

OK,

Old text = Any text

New text = Hello

If created like button macro (^C^C_CommandToEditTextWithReplacingTextWithHello ) it would be nice to work for opened drawing and single picked text.

You're a funny guy.

How many of these change text macro buttons are you going to need?
