Question about text entry

Make the text into simples or make the text box into a symbol.

No need to fill them in one at a time. The text is editable and updatable as well. For instance say there is a permanent change to the name of the firm and you want that reflected on all previous current and future documents just update the symbol as long as it is part of a library all the documents on
you computer will update when you open them.

I'm not sure what a simple is.?I am a novice user when it comes to AI. Here is an example of my title block.

I am using CS2 .?Is the text editable in a symbol?

Thanks

I am a little confused you want a drop down but nothing on that block looks like it is a constant input it al looks like it changes.

Text in a symbols is editable two ways you can one so all the symbols update two if you break the link the instances is now independently editable.

So if you are updating to a new project then you place an instance then break the link to the symbols make changes to the constants for that projects and turn that into a symbol. then you place a instance break the link and input the variable content.

You can also use variables to do something similar.

I don't want a drop down per say. I just want to edit the text in the title block in one place instead of having to click in each text box. Each title block will contain different text.
