drawing tool to select the text object that you want to separate into smaller text objects.
Upon creation, text objects are treated as a single drawing object. You can easily separate each character into a unique drawing object.
To separate each character into a discrete text object:
1. Use the Select drawing tool to select the text object that you want to separate into smaller text objects.
2. Select Tools > Break Text Apart.
3. Deselect the text. Each character is surrounded by its own bounding box, but the objects in the original text object will remain in a grouped selection until you click outside the selection or use the Deselect All command ([Command]+[Shift]+[A]).
4. Select a character.
