Putting Text in Text
Hi all!
This is probably has an easy answer, but I've been searching the internet for a while to figure it out to no avail.
I'm trying to design sweatshirts, and want to do this http://www.photoshopessentials.com/p...nside-text.php
but in a Illustrator version.
Any ideas?
Thanks a million!

Re: Putting Text in Text
You don't mention which version of Illy you have, but I don't think it is any different. In the attached image, I used a enlarged letter T
- Type your letter
- Convert the letter to an outline
- Ungroup
- Select all the paths that are created after ungrouping and release the compound path
- Deselct the path
- Create Threaded text using the Type Area tool
- Click on part of the path. Your cursor should actually now be at the top left of the letter
That's about all there is to it.
Take care, Mike

Re: Putting Text in Text
If you had wanted to make your text still editable without going to outlines I would have just made 2 linked text boxes and flowed the text in.
