Default Text overlay (Titles & Text) is not workingo

I am running Windows 10 using Adobe Premiere Elements 11.  Yesterday when I opened APE to edit a video, something odd happened.  I tried to inset a “Titles & Text, General, Default, Default Text” overlay and the template seemed different.   The words “Add Text” (shown in the middle of the template) was not there and when I used the template, it would not accept any text that I tried to add, anywhere in the template.  The Default Roll and Default Crawl overlays seem to work okay.  Just the Default Text overlay is not working.   How can I fix/reload this particular overlay, or the 3 Default overlays?

    My answer quoted @amaisan which is why you see it twice.

    Just after the quote, my answer was that this question is NOT a question about Photoshop Elements, but about Premiere Elements, the video editor;  so I gave the link to the correct forum for Premiere Elements. Read my post again.
