how can I modify the location of part use Edit Propertied?

As title, i'm a beginner of OrCAD,if i want to change the coordinate by entering a text,

After doubling click the part, enter into the "Edit Properties" table, and there is a Location X-coordinate (or Y) column,  but i can't modify the text inside. May i ask why? thanks...

    The location, X and Y, on the schematic page is reported to the "read-only" Location properties, you can move the part graphically but you cannot access the properties to do this. Being able to specifiy absolute locations by parameters might make some sense for physical PCB layout but it does not really have much bearing on the graphical inteface for drawing a schematic.
