Thank you very much Moini. I couldn't figure out why nothing seemed to be happening when I chose any of the path options. But you are right. When I chose one letter at a time, it works. It just didn't like the group of text.

I have been through the forums, several tutorial videos, youtube, etc and I simply cannot figure out how to make this work. I need to take words that are on top of a layer (usually a shape) with a background fill. I can make the words transparent but it is still going to be the background fill layer...
