I have text with a blurred shadow. I need to do some kerning. But when I try, only the top text object moves. I tried selecting outside the text tool and grouping… and I donno what else. At one point both the text and the shadow DID move together but for some reason, not anymore! Can anyone help me with this?

Hello:
-Are you using a clone of the text?
-Do you have grouped two text objects?
-Are you using filters, or just the bluring comand in the fill and stroke dialog?

Hello:
-Are you using a clone of the text?
I MADE A COPY OF THE MAIN TEXT OBJECT AND PUT IT UNDERNEATH. IS THAT COPY A CLONE?
-Do you have grouped two text objects?
I GROUPED THE TWO TEXT OBJECTS. THEY MOVE TOGETHER WITH THE SELECTION TOOL BUT NOT IN THE TEXT TOOL.
-Are you using filters, or just the bluring comand in the fill and stroke dialog?
I'M JUST USING THE BLURRING COMMAND IN THE FILL & STROKE WINDOW.
I TRIED TO DO IT THE "HARD WAY" BY SETTING PERAMETERS IN A DIALOGUE BOX BUT THE RESULTS WERE VERY KOO-KOO.

I'LL DO THAT IN MY NEXT POST...

Dude(ette)... All caps on the interwebz means you're shouting. You're not shouting are you?

A clone is not a simple copy. Perhaps read the manual about clones.

Here is a sample of text with a clone. The clone is blurred. Change the text spacing and the clone changes too.

There is also a drop-shadow filter:

Hello
Please don't write in caps.

I opine that The solution is using a clone of the text and group it with the original text:

Sorry, I'm not shouting! When answering a long text, I usually used caps within the text I received because I can't see well, and I get confused if I don't. I'll just have to use spacing or something instead. I tried to use color but I couldn't seen to get it to work.
