I have watched many tutorials and tried searching for an answer to my question but cannot find an answer. I want to import and edit a document but each element is separate, including every letter of the text and drop shadow. Is there a way to edit this text as you would in any other program or do I literally have to create the text afresh. I have spent so long trying to find the answer that it would have been quicker but I would love to know if it can be done. As you can tell I'm new to the world of vector so be gentle. Thanks
