So let us see what will happen if we convert a word or combination of letters into a path? For this purpose, I will type EDU as a word with the same text tool.Īnd increase its size with the select tool by holding the shift + Ctrl button of the keyboard so that it maintains the proportion of this text.Īnd after selecting this text I will again go to the Path menu and click on the Object to Path option it.Īnd you can see if we select it with the Node tool the letter of this text has a number of nodes.

Not only one letter but you can also convert the whole word of any text into the path. If you want you can also delete the undesired node points from the path and for that just select your desired node which you want to delete and then press the Delete button on the keyboard.Īnd by deleting nodes you can also make changes in the shape of the path of the converted letters. Not only nodes you can also make curves by adjusting node handle like this.

You can edit any node of this path with the help of this Edit Node tool for having a different transformations in the shape of this letter E and it will give this letter a creative look such as I want to stretch this node in the outer direction of this path so I will select this node and drag it in outer direction with the help of Node tool. So I will take the Nodes tool.Īnd once you select this letter E with the Node tool by clicking on it you can see there is a number of nodes on the path of this letter.

So it is clear that this letter E is now a path and you can edit it with the Edit nodes tool. And if you Text tool again and try to edit it as a text for replacing it with other text or for changing its style or font type then you can see it is not editable, in fact, the text tool cursor blinks on a new place for typing other text.
