Wondering how do I convert the three parts to a shape for Webdings font. I want to give them all separate colors.

Hi! When you opened a file that included text already converted to shapes, do you know how to revert back to text?

Hi there, I love your tutorials, so easy to understand. I was wondering if you could do a tut on how to fill any shape (not just letters) with text, as in "drawing" with text? For example, drawing/filling a hand with text, can it be done in Illustrator or only in PS? Thanks a lot
