Antoine_neth Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 It is impossible to edit only one or more words of a filler text. Strange that this problem has never been noticed or solved.
Alfred Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 That isn’t a bug. Treating the placeholder text as a single object allows it to keep filling the text frame as you resize it. If you want to edit the text, right-click on it and choose ‘Expand’ from the context menu. There’s also an option under Preferences.

Is there a reason why it would be assumed a user would know this? I'm new to desktop publishing software so sorry if this question sounds dumb.
