hi there first post,  apologues i'm not a super user.

i created a logo, saved it then went back to change the text to a different wording and it wont allow me.

does not show the lock icon in layers. i selected ungroup. i tried the find and replace nad it does find any text.

i've spent hours looking to find the answer but no luck and tried many different things.

thanks in advance

    Once you make outlines the text is no longer text. Which is why you Can’t edit it. A good practice before outlining text is to copy it and past it onto a new layer, then hide that layer by clicking the eyeball on that layer. The hidden text will cause no problems with fonts or imaging but if needed it will contain the original text so you can get back to it and edit it.

    unfortunately once you’ve outlined the text the only hope you have is to undo. If you’ve saved and closed the file since outlining the text then there is no hope at all. You’ll have to retype the text most likely.

    Steven,

    You should always save a copy of the original artwork for later editing options (and save different versions as you go, preferably in different versions/media).

      If you created outline you cannot change the text.  If you really need ot do it make sure you crete a copy and this will let you change the original...

      Is it possible you’ve converted the text to outlines, thereby rendering it art and no longer a text object? can you select the text? if so is there simply a line under the text or does the selection show the shape of the letters?
