Editi text in place with macro

[koletutor]

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?

[koletutor]

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?

[koletutor]

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.

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

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