Thanks for replying. This is what i did. In the Object Properties box I right clicked on the text box right next to the key frame, (not the text box where you type your text. A menu came up. in that sub menu are options for animation, user interface, copy, select all, deselect all… I clicked on User interface. In that submenu I had three options, String, Multi line string and Static Text. I just wanted to see what each of them did. When I clicked on Static text I lost the ablilty to edit my text. Do you know how to undo this?
