hello everyone,

i have a SVG file. But I need to change some part of it. It change the last name on my customer's request. I replace the currenct last name and add customer's one. But I do not know how to do that. It suppose to be the same text characters as well. Could you please let me know? It is probably pretty easy for most of you. But it is not for me:)

If the text is still live editable text, it should be easy to edit it with the text tool.

But if the text is converted to outlines, you need to delete the outlines and replace it with new text.

To see if the text is live text or outlines, change the View menu to Outlines.

Top: Live Text, Bottom: Outlines
