Acting on live text

Live text makes it easy for you to complete some common tasks by displaying a menu of options. Which actions are available on the menu depends on the setting in the XML extensions (widgets) configuration file created specifically for your use.

Follow the steps to use the live text:
  1. When live text is enabled to display, type text in the document, and live text displays in the document as underlined text.
  2. Hover over a live text instance, the cursor changes to a drop-down arrow.
  3. Click the arrow to open a live text menu of options and select an action, then the action runs.
Type "Michael Smith" in a document, press enter and Michael Smith displays in dash-underlined text. Hover over the text, and click the arrow to open the live text menu. There are many actions on the context menu such as find his address on google map, call him, chat with him and so on. Select one option, the application runs.
