Type Layer Refuses To Be Edited

Dear friends:

I am close to completing my jewelry web site at:

http://www.immortalgems.com

Please click on Diamonds and Weddings.

This site is based on a template that I obtained from BoxedArt (www.boxedart.com). I've now encountered a problem when attempting to edit a type layer. I'm referring to the Diamonds and Weddings page. As you can see there is a menu on the left (next to the little girl holding a gift box). This menu forms one single, uncut slice. Yet, it is a real menu, not a piece of decoration. I've tried my damnest to edit it. Right? If so, how in the world can this be done. Please see screenshots at:

Please look closely at the first entry on the menu. You can see the marks left by the attempted highlighting of the text. What I saw looked like the cropping tool, not a highlight. Yet, the T text tool is on as well as the layer in the Layer palette.

If you would like to look at the original PSD file, it is at:

http://www.immortalgems.com/original/PSD/4.psd

Be sure to hold the Shift key when downloading.

Would appreciate your help in figuring out what to do and how to do it in Gimp 2.0.

Thank you so much.

Dear Carol and friends:

I realize that my message was sent to the Gimp list, not the Photohshop list. I was hoping to solve the problem in The Gimp since I can import the PSD file. If not, then my apologies.

Thank you.

to the best of my knowledge, the gimp does not do this yet.

the fact that photoshop breaks while doing it is interesting.

Dear Carol:

I don't think that phothoshop breaks while doing this. Apparently, the author of this template locked the menu and rasterized it, making it impossible to edit it. Why he/she did this I don't know. I am trying to find out how to overcome and solve this menu problem.
