Update selected legacy text
❖ Do one of the following:
• To update the text without creating a copy, select the type object and choose Type > Legacy Text > Update Selected
Legacy Text. Alternatively, select a type tool and click in the text that you want to update, or double-click the text
that you want to update using the Selection tool. Then click Update.
• To preserve the legacy text on a layer below the updated text, select a type tool and click in the text that you want
to update. Alternatively, double-click the text that you want to update using the Selection tool. Then click Copy

• Type > Legacy Text > Show Copies or Hide Copies to show or hide the copied text objects.
• Type > Legacy Text > Select Copies to select copied text objects.
• Type > Legacy Text > Delete Copies to delete copied text objects.
