34 Working with Text
Y To update WebPlus with your changes, click the
$FFHSW
button. To abandon changes, click
&DQFHO.
Note: While editing on the page you cannot select text in more than
one text block at a time. To edit the whole story, use WritePlus.
For an illustrated overview of WritePlus, see QuickTour 3, 8VLQJ

By the way, you may be wondering about the difference between
editing standard text and Page Wizard “answer” text. The key point is
that if you want to preserve answer fields, you should use the :L]DUG
panel to edit their text.
Y With the Text tool, click the first line in the name/address block at
the lower right, and drag down. Note that the whole line highlights.
Answer text is stored in fields, and when you select one of them the
whole field highlights—a sure sign that you're not dealing with
standard text! You cannot select only part of an answer text field.
However, you can use the Text tool (or WritePlus) to change the field’s
character or paragraph properties, or cut/copy/paste answer text fields
within the document if necessary.
Keep in mind that if you retype over answer text, you'll effectively
destroy the field. The new text you enter at that location will be
ordinary text and can no longer be updated via the :L]DUG panel.
Changing the ‘Web colors’
When you stepped through the Wizard to create the site we’ve been
working with, you chose one of several alternate color schemes. In the
previous chapter, we used the paint-by-numbers analogy to explain
about the five numbers you can use to mark elements in WebPlus, and
how each scheme includes five colors, which get applied to elements
with the corresponding number.
By convention, body text in Page Wizard publications is marked with
“Scheme Color 1.” That means it takes on whichever color has been
defined as Scheme Color 1 in the current scheme (the first of the five
colors shown at the top of the sample). In addition, each publication’s
color scheme also includes these special Web color settings:
