I can't fix/edit my slideshow after it's been saved as a .wmv

Question

I created a slideshow, then saved it and now its a .wmv file, or movie.  I added to the Video and now need to change some of the text, etc. How can I edit ?

Welcome to the forum.
Steve G. and ATR have explained the methods of both creating a SlideShow, and getting it into Premiere Elements.
With that WMV output file, your choices for additional editing will be limited, but if I read what you wanted to do correctly, there may be a workaround.
You mention changing some of your text. Let's take a look at this process.
Is your text (Title) appearing by itself, or is it ontop of a Slide (Still Image)?
If it is a separate Title, and not over a Still Image, then in PrE, just create a Title, with your desired Text, and place it on a Video Track that is higher than you WMV Clip. Adjust its Duration to be a bit longer, than the Title in the WMV and any Transitions in it, then apply a Cross-Dissolve on either end of that Title.
If the Title in the WMV is over a Still Image, i.e. superimposed into that Still Image, you will do the same thing, but with one more step. Import the Still Image, which matches the Still Image at that point in your WMV, and place that on a Video Track above the WMV, say Video Track 2. Adjust its Duration to be slightly longer than that same Still Image in the WMV, plus any Transitions that it has. Now, create a Title with the correct Text, and place it on a Video Track above the WMV and that Still Image (the one that matches the Still in the WMV, say Video 3. Adjust its Duration to match that Still Image on Video Track 2. Add a Cross-Dissolve to the ends of both that new Still Image, and the New Title.
The weakness of these methods is that to get Transitions to either/both the New Title and the new Still Image, you will need to "cover up" anything happening on the WMV, so the timing will be a bit different.
Still, the ultimate method is the one suggested by both Steve G. and ATR - Send to Premiere Elements, and then Break Apart. The methods outlined above are ONLY if all you have from your Organizer SlideShow is that WMV. They are stop-gap methods, but will work just fine, with the exception of that slightly altered timing.
Good luck,
