Naming a text object
As you add text to your Fireworks document, that text object is automatically saved under a
name that matches the text you’ve typed. You can change the assigned name to a different
name, if you prefer.
To change the name of a text object
1. Select the text object.
The existing name of that text object is displayed both in the Text box of the Properties
inspector and in the Layers panel object thumbnail.
2. Do one of the following:
■ Select the name in the Text box of the Properties inspector, and then type a new name.
■ Click the name in the Layers panel object thumbnail, and then type a new name.
NOTE
If the Property inspector is minimized, click the expander arrow in the lower right corner
to see all text properties.
