how to edit letter text?

[aspirine2]

hey, been searching around for a way to edit letter text in Ssedit 4. i'm more familiar with it than creation kit. i just don't know which tab i should edit or play with? 

so basically my question is which tab should i use to edit letters & books to change the text? in Ssedit 4?

 

many thanks in advance

In xEdit, (i.e. SSEdit in your case)

 

 

 
 

 

 

(Press 'F2' on the field next to 'DESC - Book Text' to edit it). 

 

However for editing text in books zEdit, ( https://github.com/z-edit/zedit/releases ) is nicer to work with as it allows you to edit the text in a multi-line field, rather than the one line field you get in xEdit.

 

(zEdit is basically the same as xEdit but written in a different language by people who didn't like pascal. I prefer xEdit for everything other than editing text in books). 

 

(ps Thinking about it I seem to remember that the xEdit edit field is limited to 256 characters, which is another reason to use zEdit for that particular task).
