(For an explanation of the difference between groupings and compound paths, see this post.) Even a single letter is “grouped” within the text box because it leaves room for something like “x 2″ or changing a small “x” to a capital one. Each letter is a separate piece, even though certain letters themselves are in a compound path. When you type text, you’re typing a grouping of letters. That means you can no longer edit them at all. That does work, but there’s a HUGE drawback: your words are now image instead of text. A vast majority of the time, you’ll hear folks tell you to weld the text.
We all know that we don’t want the overlapping areas of cursive letters to cut into one another. That’s all there is to that one! Text Myth #27 “You must weld a cursive font so the overlapping letters don’t cut into one another” Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL/CMD + v to paste the text.Click on your drawing area to create a new text box, or click within an existing text box to add the words into it.If you like, you can choose your font properties at this point.Hop over to Silhouette Studio and click the Text Create icon.In your original program where you’ve got your text, select it and use the keyboard shortcut CTRL/CMD + c to copy it.

Refer back to Text Myth #21 for info on how to do that. Choosing the font and sizes before I pasted was also a time-saver. (You can find a tutorial on how I did it here). This was a HUGE help when I addressed my daughter’s wedding invitations, as I already had the addressed typed in a spreadsheet. You can copy it from there and paste it right into Silhouette Studio. Sometimes you have text you have already typed in another program.
