2. Click a point on the map at the location of the desired text.

   The location is identified on the map with the words Edit Text.

   The text editing dialog box appears.

5. Modify the text as needed.

   Use the font drop-down menu to change the font type. You can also adjust the text emphasis (for example, bold, italics, and underline), color, and alignment.

   The text is updated dynamically, and changes are immediately visible on the map.
