I cannot figure out two Simple things I need to do: 1- Change (edit) the text inside the box I have placed on A given track. i.e. Change the words to platform 1. 2.- make the event I have dragged down to be able to run it manually from a specific place on my track paper look like inside a square box instead of just it being there Many thanla Santiago

I need to: 1.- Edit the text inside the boxes placed in my Control Desk ( image titled text boxes) 2.- Be able to place the events inside boxes that are embedded in my Conterol Desk and stick out clearly in contrast with the background ( image titled Events boxes) And thank again in advance for advice Santiago

"Click and Hold down" the text item for a couple of second to expose the dialog to allow editing. FWIW unfortunately you may not be too satisfied with the result as ... - the text stays within the box and is too small to read - no font size control or controlled line breaks for readability - scales with everything else and is hidden for even medium size layout segments
