You can change the contents,
formatting and properties of single-line text.
You can
change single-line text with DDEDIT and PROPERTIES. Use DDEDIT when
you need to change only the content of the text, not the formatting
or properties of the text object. Use PROPERTIES when you want to
change content, text style, location, orientation, size, justification,
and other properties.
Text
objects also have grips for moving, scaling, and rotating. A text
object has grips at the lower-left corner of the baseline and at
the alignment point.
The effect of a command depends on which grip
you choose.
