Combining text and rectangle

hi i want to carve a rectangle with text on top. i tried combine but that doesn’t work


where the text starts the recatangle shout stop. now the letters are separated from the rectangle. can this be done in easel ?

thanks for reply

Yes, you need to lower the letters so its inside the box just a little. Set the box and letters to Clear Out Pocket and you will see the space between your letters and the box.

All you have to do is select the “rectangle” shape from the drawing menu and draw the rectangle where you want it.

Then “select” the rectangle and start typing. It will fill the text into your rectangle. You can also just paste your text into the text box.

I had to test this out real quick, I’m definitely interested in learning about new features… but it looks like maybe you’re using a different program for this process. :man_shrugging:
