Hello everybody!
Does anybody know how to use text as object-mask?
I need to cut a text in a picture so that the text would actually be transparent!
The goal is easily achieved converting text in path, and grouping it with a background, and then using it as a mask for the picture. But in this way I'm loosing the chance to change what is written in a second moment.
Reading some references, I saw that text objects should work as any other objects about masking, but they they don't.
What am I missing?

I tried it and found out that it doesn't work with flowed text, maybe that was your case. If so, can you try unflowing the text?
