Hi, When i double click on a text the text editor doesn't come up? I've tried the dialog box but it doesn't load up large paragraphs of text. Is there a way i can get my text editor back? Thanks
Please advise on the version being used when posting. read-first-microstation-forum-best-practices
Do you have the Properties dialog open at the time of double clicking on the text to edit, if this is the case it may be related to Defect 1026147, which has been resolved in MicroStation Connect Edition Update 14.

Hi Sorry I am using Microstation V8i. When I try to double click it the small box comes up where i can change the size and text style, is that what you mean by the properties dialog? Just not the actual box where i can change the text. If it has been resolved in that update how do i get that update onto my computer as updates are normally locked for us as our IT department can only do installs
The Defect mentioned was logged against MicroStation CONNECT Edition, so in this instance does not apply.
The change in Style and Text Size that you mention is presented in the Tool Settings dialog, whereas the Properties dialog is the Element Information dialog in V8i. But as mentioned the defect is not applicable.
If you select the Place Text tool does the Word Processor dialog open ?
If you select the Edit Text tool does the Word Processor dialog open ? ( IE is it just an issue when double clicking on the Text to Edit )
Does the problem occur when trying to edit any text from any file ? ( It may be the Text element is intentionally locked, this will be reported in the Message Center )
May be the Text your trying to edit is in a Reference file, if so open the Reference containing the text and edit.
May be the Word Processor dialog is off the screen, having double clicked on the Text to edit, what happens if you select the Menu item Window > Text Editor - Word Processor
Hi Thanks for your response
- The word processor dialog doesn't open when i click place text
- It doesn't open when i click the edit text tool either
- I've tried two different files and they are both having the same issue. I have referenced files but i am trying to edit the text from the master file rather then the referenced file
- When i go to the window - text editor - word processor the dialog still doesn't come up.
Thanks for the additional information perhaps the following will help
