Illustrator question: selecting multiple text

[dspring]

you're from canadia, how many words do you really know?

it's for a U.S. client... I don't know what half this stuff says...

[standard]

Yeah, I don't think it exists... it's what character styles are for in InDesign (but even then, you'd have to manually assign them to begin with)

You could've been done by now.

what I want is to be able to do this

copy and paste the entire thing. select it all, 'create outlines'..then ungroup all. delete the words, do them in the different font, create outlines, ungroup them and then move them into place, you will prolly have to re-kern the lines. I do this alll the time it works fast.

damn, just make colored rectangles in front of all of the words you want to do and then select all of them and send to back...easy as that.

No, it's not possible. Just gotta highlight and bold, rinse and repeat. I don't see how this could take that long, unless you're sifting through 1000 paragraphs.

takes less time to do it with character styles, but it still sux
