The text now covers the entire image. Step 15 : Look at the Layers pallette. The image is at the bottom layer i.e. the Background and the text layers that were copied and pasted on top.

Step 17 : Go to Layers>Rasterize>Type.
The top Text layer has been Rasterized. Now Rasterize all the text layers in exacly the same way.
All the Text Layers have been Rasterized.
