Hi Xarif. Are you sure the text is not part of the bitmap? Click VIEW | WIREFRAME to see if the entire bitmap image grays out with the text. If it does, then it is part of the bitmap.

If not, then the text is on a different layer. To check this, click on TOOLS | OBJECT MANAGER and take a look at the layers, clicking on the little eyeballs to turn their visibility on and off to detect which layer is doing what.

By the way, these instructions are for CorelDram X3, but should be good for older versions too.

Not only can objects individually be locked or locked in groups, whole layers can have their editability turned off. There is both an "eye" icon which when in color, the layer is visible, when grayed out, it is not visible. Likewise, there is a pencil icon that when enabled, the layer is editable and when grayed out, is not editable.

It could be the editablity of the layer is turned off.
