Unable to "move" text after exploding and trimming

Hi - I'm fairly new to Fusion but I'm running into an issue that I'm struggling to figure out. I created 3 different text sketches on a sign I'm making for 3d printing but need to adjust the size of the sign and scoot the text to the left a bit. Moving the other 2 text sketches worked just fine. The first sketch was cursive text which threw a boolean error so I ended up exploding the text and used the trim tool to get rid of the overlaps so I could extrude the text. That part worked great, but now I need to move all of that text about a quarter inch to the left and I can't find the life of me figure out how to select the text and move it to the left or move it at all for that matter. I've selected all the text and tried using the Move tool, but it's just not working. So I'm wondering...is this even possible to do with exploded text? Am I forced to use a different font that I don't have to explode in order to make it selectable/movable? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! That worked great! Didn't realize I needed to "lock" the text in place to move it, but will use this tip going forward.
