Editing existing objects or elements

You can use the Visual Tag Editor to quickly edit existing objects, elements, or attributes.

To edit an object or element:

1. In the Layout Editor, do one of the following to open the Visual Tag Editor in Edit mode:
• Select the object you want to edit by clicking it.
• Select the element you want to edit by using the markup tree bar at the bottom of the document window. (See Using the markup tree bar.)
• Select more than one paragraph, objects, or elements by dragging in the Layout Editor.
2. Choose Special > Visual Tag Editor.
3. Edit the element by doing any of the following:
• Edit an existing attribute by clicking the attribute in the upper pane and typing directly in the upper pane. You can replace the existing attribute by double-clicking another attribute in the list box.
• Add a new attribute by placing the cursor before or after an existing attribute in the upper pane, and typing a blank space. Then type the new attribute, or double-click an attribute in the list box.
• If an attribute has predefined values, you can select a value by placing the cursor in the attribute's value in the upper pane, and double-clicking the value in the list box.

To select a different element without closing the Visual Tag Editor, use the markup tree bar in the Visual Tag Editor. The markup tree bar works the same way in the Visual Tag Editor as it does in the document window. (See Using the markup tree bar.)

4. When you have finished editing the source code, click OK.
