Reply To: Split Outlined Text Words in to Individual Letters

I’m not 100% sure what your end goal is, but to separate the (converted to outlines) word into individual letters, select the group then go: Object > Path > Release Compound Path. NOTE: If your word contains letters like a “e” for example, that is made into a compound path once converted to outlines, you’ll need to select all pieces of the “e” with the marquee tool (including the filled in part that resulted when you released the compound path — sorry, I’m lacking in the exact terminology for what these pieces are called) and then: Object > Pathfinder > Exclude Overlap (or Exclude Back should work). Now you’re able to select them individually.
