Hi Alex,

Image>Overlay>To ROI Manager makes individual ROIs from the text  
overlays.
You can then move them (check 'Edit Mode') and, using the Text tool,  
delete from the end or append to the end of the text currently selected.

I have not figured out whether one can convert the list of ROIs back  
to overlays with a single command - a simple macro looping through  
the ROI Manager items should do.
