Hi!

I've been using Inkscape to do some typographic designs, and I can use the text tool to make a single charachter and then use the "Object To Path" command on the Path Menu (CTRL SHIFT C) to convert it into an editable shape I can control with the node editor, and make its bounding box fit tightly around the shape so I can use the Align and Distribute palette to place it just right.

However, when I write a line of text, I'd like to use "Object To Path" to convert the text into a group of objects, which I can then ungroup and rearrange using Align and Distribute.

When I do this at the moment, all the letters appear to be one object.

Any tips? :-)
