Struggling to edit the credits screen

Hey, I'm trying to edit the credits for a ROM Hack I'm making and I'm struggling. I've done my research and nothing is helping me out.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, this is new territory for me

You're being pretty vauge about what the problem you're having is, so I'm not sure what's the best way to help.

If you simply don't know how to edit the credits, then open the Overworld Editor #lm{ow}, go to File > Credits > Load Credits... From there you can edit SMW's credits similar to how you'd edit the Overworld.

I know how to load the credits, I just don't know how to edit them after I load them.

What I am doing is:
Overworld Editor > File > Credits > Load Credits...

Then from there, I click the iceberg to open the 8x8 Overworld Tile Selector/Tools but then when I try to edit the credits, it doesn't do so. The only thing I've managed to do is fill the whole screen with the letter I've selected, I just want to fill one tile.

That happens when you hold down shift while right-clicking to paste a tile. I literally only just found about this due to this thread Maybe your shift key got stuck or StickyKeys got turned on? Either that or it could be something to do with your keyboard.

I just want to know how to go about filling in a tile, not all of them. Again sorry if this is a stupid question >.< what I've tried to do is click the letter I want to put on the credits (Inside of the 8X8 Overworld Tile Selector/Tools), then clicking the tile where I want to put that letter. I would post a GIF but I'm not sure if that's allowed as I'm also new to the forums

GIFs are perfectly fine. Just upload the GIF somewhere on the internet (My Files on SMWCentral is a good place) and then link to the GIF using the Insert Image button (Ctrl+M). Just make sure that the image is small enough to not blow up your forum post.
I just figured it out, it was a dumb error on my end. Thanks for your time!
