If the text is not editable, you may need to erase the previous text before continuing. To do this, click the eraser tool (which looks like an eraser), then click and drag it over the text you want to delete.

Hover your cursor over the corners of the text box to resize it. To change your font, press Ctrl+A to select all the text inside and adjust the font style and size as well as color. You can also click in the menu to make your text box opaque or transparent.
