How do I color lettering with an image?
I don't know if I worded the subject line accurately so let me describe what I am trying to do...
I want to create lettering (for example, "God bless the USA") which has black stroke paint and white fill. Then, I would like to take an American flag, put it in the background and ONLY have the flag's colors show through the lettering (so it looks like the letters are the colors of the flag).
Does that make any sense?
So, how do I do it?
Thanks for any and all help!
convert the image to a pattern and apply it to the fill of the letters. import the image, select it and do Object>pattern>object to Pattern To apply it to the lettering either use the fill/stroke dialog or copy the rectangle with the pattern on it and do paste style onto the text (Shift+Ctrl+V)
Cheers

THANKS!!!
Several ways to skin a cat, eh?
Donn, your suggestion did not work for me -- but it's probably me and my noobie brain.
John, your suggestion worked like a charm -- after I was able to get my afor-mentioned noobie brain around it.
Thanks to both of you.

Write the text, clone it. Move it under/over the flag (depending on your settings). Select both -> Object -> Clip -> Set. Worked for me.
