For example, if you Opened a PSD file to start with, perhaps you haven't enabled the Affinity Preference to treat PSD text as editable text. (Note: that option applies only when Opening a PSD file. If you're exporting one, the text will always be rasterized.)

What did you start with, and what did you do to it? You'll need to explain more details of your workflow, and the kind of files you're dealing with, for us to tell you that.
