Sorry for what I imagine must be a pretty silly question, but I have been trying for some time to figure out how to change the text on rectangles. If I change the name of the object in the timeline nothing happens, which I expected. But if I select the text box on the object it just writes over the existing text and I can't delete it. I also can't change the text, or so it seems, in the form view. What the hell? It must be so simple, but I can't for the life of me see how to do this and it's driving me insane!
I put the template in the attachment, in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
I can see why this is driving you insane...because it is driving me insane! I don't how you did this actually but I don't think it's recognizing that there is text right now because when I try to use format painter..it copies even the text "choice x" with it.
Anyways, I resorted to deleting the rectangles you had and replacing them with new ones. You should be able to change the labels on them now without issues.

Hope this helps,
