Thanks, Steve.
I thought the same thing last night and made sure I was using the correct text tool. So, unless mine have gotten crossed somehow, (!), that’s not it.
Interestingly enough, a friend is having the same problem. My work-around for now, is to make the text Outline and work with it from there. But that’s a pain in the butt if you need to change the text in any way.
Any more ideas?! 😉 Oh, btw, I have Illustrator CS 5.1
Thanks!
