Editing Text In Story Editor Clip Paint: A Step-By-Step Guide

The Story Editor in Clip Studio Paint is a function that allows users to input and edit text on multiple pages. It provides an alternative to the usual method of adding text to a page using the Text Tool. The Story Editor offers a specialised text editor within the program, allowing users to enter text one line at a time or in bulk by copying and pasting. Users can also merge text fields, change the text direction, and move text to different pages or within the same page. It is important to note that the Story Editor does not have a built-in spelling checker. This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of how to edit text in the Story Editor of Clip Studio Paint.
