Hi!
I'm expeiencing the following issue in Illu that I can't figure out how to fix:

It looks like text text has somehow separated from it's frame (not sure how this happended - I didn't do this intentionally) and I don't know how to 'join' the text fram and the text back together 😞

Has anyone experienced similar and would be able to help please?

Hi @MargoM.,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Please try selecting the text with the Selection tool and then go to Type > Convert to Area Type to see if that fixes the issue.

If the text still doesn't convert or behaves oddly, could you let me know which version of Illustrator and operating system you're using? A short screen recording showing what happens when you select or resize the text would also help me check this further.

 

Looking forward to your update.

Thank you Abhishek Rao!

This did help 🙂 (though I had to do the other way around - convert to Point Type)
