As far as I can tell with what you want to do, no. You need to make each
letter a separate graphical symbol. If you change one instance of a symbol,
you are affecting all instances of it.

HTH,

OK, no takers...

This is a different approach to the same question:

Can text placed in graphic symbols in the library be changed to be
different in each instance?

In other words (example) can you make a symbol be a square with "A" inside:
[A]

And then in each instance change the "A" to be B, C, D, E, F etc., to
make a series of keys that match some text elsewhere?

I couldn't find any reference to this in the help files.

I got it to work only after each instance was Broken Apart and then
regrouped.

Is there another way?

Thanks in advance.

Ray
