Question
Hi Miss Amy

I was wondering if we can edit the Outline Text for Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I have lots of Outline text. How can i edit the one i type. Is it possible to edit the Outline Text..

Thank you very much and more power.  

Answer
Hi Hanz,

Unfortunately, you cannot edit outlined text. You cannot turn outline text back into text. That's why it's always important to keep a copy of your document before you turn the text into outlines.

This time, you will need to re-type the text again.

Good luck!

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
