Edit Values in a Narrative

To edit tagged values in a narrative without dropping the tag, do any of the following:

• Place your cursor right up against the last number of the value, backspace and type in the new content
  
  
• Place your cursor anywhere within the value and type in the new content
  
• Highlight the value, not including any spaces before or after it, and enter the new value
