I have encountered an additional problem with PE 2024. This time, the text tool is not working. all I did was click inside the white box an I get someones name there. I do not know who this person is or how to get rid of it. I tried to type something and as soon as I clicked in the white box, this persons name came up again. I need to be able to type what I want not what someone else wants. How do I get this tool to work right? a whole screen shot is here to see!

That's the preference file for the organizer. You need to access the preference file for the editor: EDIT>PREFERENCES

That's not a person, but placeholder text using Lorem Ipsum (dummy text).

I guess some users find it useful to do the formatting and what not using the dummy text

then type or paste there actual text later.

Anyhow, you can turn that off from within photoshop elements by going to Edit>Preferences>Type and unchecking

Fill type layers with new placeholder text

That is just a placeholder:
