Editing without revisualising

5 years ago
I just need to change the spelling of one word in my word art piece. I want everything else to stay in the same position, same colour, size, etc.
But when I edit the spelling of that word in my words list (as recommended in posts in this forum) and then revisualise (again as recommended), not only does the spelling of the word change (as I want it to), but the position of all the other words changes again - revisualising gives me a whole new layout each time, even if I only want to alter one word and keep everything else in situ.
How can I rectify this please? Thanks.

Hi Jo!
You cannot change the spelling without revisualizing unfortunately. I recommend you to switch to the edit mode and then lock other words except the one you want to change spelling. Then revisualize. After the revisualization the locked words will keep their position thus preserving the layout.

Great, thanks for clarifying that, Alex. So, I’d have to lock every other word individually, right?

Yes, you have to lock every other word individually

Ok, thanks.

Did that, now how do I unlock the previously locked words now that I've fixed the spelling and revisualized that one word?

You can unlock a word using the same lock button

I did that, but nothing happened? It stayed greyed out. When I hit revisualize, it moved the word, which was what I didn't want to happen.

BTW you don't need to unlock a word if you change its spelling. It will be unlocked automatically during the visualization. Could you please try to change the spelling and visualize again?
