How to fit longer replacement text in an image
Avoid clipped letters when replacing image text with a longer word or sentence. Choose enough space while keeping the original alignment.

The old box is only half the story
A box around MAY may be too narrow for JUNE, clipping the edge of the longer word. A box that fits the old word may not fit the new one.
Preserve the alignment, not a fixed starting point
A centered heading should stay centered; a left-aligned label should stay left-aligned. A longer word may extend in different directions depending on that original layout. Do not assume that every replacement should begin at the old word’s left edge.
Choose the space before generation
Expand the approved area to include the original word and the expected replacement footprint. Leave room for ascenders, descenders and shadows. Avoid neighboring text. If there is not enough space, shorten the wording or edit the original design file instead.
Review the full replacement text
Check the first and last characters and any nearby line. The editor keeps the selection size you chose. If the result is clipped, revise the wording or selection and try a new edit.
