Edit and rerecord actions

It is easy to edit and customize actions. You can tweak the settings of any specific command within an action, add commands to an existing action, or step through an entire action and change any or all settings.

Overwrite a single command

1. In the Actions palette, double-click the command.
2. Enter the new values, and click OK.

Add commands to an action

1. Do one of the following:

   • Select the action name to insert a new command at the end of the action.

   • Select a command in the action to insert a command after it.

2. Click the Begin Recording button, or choose Start Recording from the Actions palette menu.
3. Record the additional commands.
4. When finished, click the Stop Playing/Recording button in the Actions palette or choose Stop Recording from the palette menu.

Rearrange commands within an action

 In the Actions palette, drag a command to its new location within the same or another action. When the highlighted line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button.

Record an action again

1. Select an action, and choose Record Again from the Actions palette menu.
2. If a modal tool appears, use the tool to create a different result, and press Enter or Return, or just press Enter or Return to retain the same settings.
3. If a dialog box appears, change the settings, and click OK to record them, or click Cancel to retain the same values.

I cannot figureout to edit an action. The instructions say to double click the line I want to change. All that does is activate the action.
