• Use the converted outlines as text frames, so that you can type or place text in them.

• Change the stroke attributes of letterforms.

• Use text outlines to create compound shapes.

Working with text outlines

A. Type character before conversion to text outline B. Text outline with image pasted into it C. Text outline used as a text frame

Because converted text outlines become sets of compound paths, you can edit individual subpaths of converted

outlines by using the Direct Selection tool. You can also break the character outlines into independent paths by

releasing them from the compound path.

Convert text outlines to paths

By default, creating outlines from type removes the original text. However, if you prefer, you can make outlines

appear over a copy of the original text, so that none of the text is lost.

When you select type characters in a text frame and convert them to outlines, the resulting outlines become anchored

(inline) objects that flow with the text. Because the converted text is no longer true type, you will no longer be able

to highlight and edit the characters using the Type tool. In addition, typographical controls will no longer apply.

Make sure that you’re satisfied with the typographic settings of the type you convert to outlines, and be sure to create

a copy of the original text.

1 Use the Selection tool to select a text frame, or use the Type tool to select one or more characters.

2 Choose Type > Create Outlines.

Convert a copy of text outlines to paths

1

Use the Selection tool to select a text frame, or use the Type tool to select one or more characters.

2 Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you choose Type > Create Outlines. The copy is created exactly

on top of the original; use the Selection tool to drag it away, if you like.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
