You save XCF and you export JPEG.

Exporting to JPEG does not modify the image you got in GIMP, provided
that you do not do any additional steps to it. You do not have to do any
additional steps to facilitate the export.

Wow, that's just strange, Patrick, because what you said worked.  I recreated an
original template of a wedding invite and made sure I recreated all the text
from scratch. I saved it as an ordinary native .xcf file. I closed it and I
closed GIMP. I reopened GIMP and reopened the file and voila there are editable
text boxes! Happy Days

So the process of creating a jpg file compresses the original even though you
are not saving your original as a jpg file! I thought that was what saving it as
a jpg file was for! Not changing the original! Well I've learnt my lesson and a
big thanks to Ofnuts and Patrick for their help!

did you merge or flatten layers before saving?

I only see any version of windows on someone else's box and haven't had
gimp there for years and much has changed.  sorry.

Hi Patrick, thanks for the reply. Well I saved my file as the native .xcf file.
As soon as I save it, close it and reopen it, I can't redit the text. Yet I have
seen others do it on their screens! Is it because I'm still using Windows 7? I'm
stumped!

how did you save the file?  if you wrote a jpg or png ... you have lost
your layers, they are merged, ie: you don't have a text layer to edit.

Thanks for the reply, Ofnuts. Well GIMP loaded until it got to grid.exe and then
when I tried to move that elsewhere it says that GIMP was using that file right
then and I couldn't paste it anywhere else. I don't have GIMP open for it to be
in use! Gr!

I've taken out shift.exe, grid.exe and blur.exe and it loads! Well we've solved
that problem but the reason why I updated to 2.8.20 was to see if I can get rid
of the inability of editing text once I've saved a file. So after fiddling
around with the plugins, I still can't edit text. Seriously thinking I need to
look elsewhere.
