Re: [noob again]static text

[Dan Shafer]

I think the difference he was referring to was a point that I find is 
often confusing to newcomers to Revolution. Static text should 
logically be placed into a Label Field. If you create a Label Field, 
there's no obvious way to change its contents because it does not allow 
direct editing. You have to open its inspector, switch to the Contents 
pane of the inspector, and type the text there. Just to make it more 
interesting ( :-) ) you then have to switch to the Text Formatting pane 
to format the text you just typed or use the Text Menu to do so. It's 
pretty darned non-intuitive.

IIRC, static text fields in HC could be directly edited. Why Rev 
doesn't allow this in the IDE is beyond me, but I've grown accustomed 
to its face.

OK, got it.  It's quite a bit different than forms design in other
environments, including HC.
