Author Photodraw "save as object" problem

Hi all,
can anyone help w/this one?

SCENARIO:
I will click the text box, use cool font's to create banner headings, group the elements together, then save it as "filename. mix". Just prior to saving it as a mix I will click on the "options" box and click the box that says "save picture as one object", then save it as a mix. THen i resave it as a jpg, copy it into another publishing program and I'm happy. (The reason I'm selecting this feature is because the image quality of the file once copied into my publishing program is much higher quaility than if I do not do this, in fact it's imperative to achieve a noticable quality difference).

THE PROBLEM is when I go back to open the *.mix file and try to edit the file it will not let me. I simply cannot ungroup the objects or even edit the text. I'm trying to figure out how to unclump it as a supposed "picture as one object" so I can edit it, instead I'm having to recreate it all over again.

Please help, thanks.
Mike

When you save it as one object, individual objects are lost forever. It must
be saved as a regular MIX file if you want to further edit the objects,

"One object" means "goodbye to the individual objects."

HTH.
