Since you were using the "edit" macro I thought you were trying to change text in a *field* in another tiddler. Reading more carefully now, I see that you said you wanted to "edit text in another tiddler". As you discovered, my suggestion is no good for that (sorry for the red herring!). You can use the editTiddler macro in a fET to give yourself an "edit" button for another tiddler, by using: +[["<<editTiddler [["+tiddler.title+"]]$))"]]+ But now I'm not sure I really understand what you're aiming for. cmari
