There's no way that I know of to do this since a GIF is a flattened
image. Unless you have the original file (FW .png, .psd, etc.), you're
out of luck.

Hi,

How do I edit the text in an existing GIF file?

If you don't have the source file, but the background behind the text is
solid or patterned or can otherwise be recreated, just overlay the existing
text in FW and type your new text on top of it. If you can't do it this
way, you might be out of luck. Sometimes it is easier (or better) to start
over, so keep this in mind, too.
