in need of ... envelope for dummies

Postby bigcheez » Wed Jul 14, 2010 11:21 pm

I have read the manual and a few posts on this forum.
But, I am unable to get the envelope extension working correctly.
I thought I had it right once but cannot repeat it.
I have converted the text I want to distort to paths.
Should the paths be broken and ungrouped, combined and grouped, broken and grouped, or combined and ungrouped?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
don't talk to me 'til I've had my coffee . . .
            . . . then I'll do the talkin' !!!
