You can establish character spacing and even an arc to it in degrees.
Once you have established your "druthers" here and applied the text to your project, you can then Select it and establish it's physical size by pulling/pushing on any of the red dot bounding box handles. You can warp (but not skew) the text in any direction by grabbing any of the bounding box "middle" yellow dots and pushing/pulling it. Or, you can create the text size by re-establishing it's dimensions (of the text bounding box) digitally in the size boxes as you can for any object.
To edit, just be sure the text is selected (any time, even after the project has been saved as a mpc ... or even created by someone else) and RIGHT click (on a PC) and from the options choose, EDIT.
What more might one need?

Remember that raster text can also be editable. Both Outline and Center cut are vector cuts and always also editable.
