Using convert text to curves

[Norfolkman6]

Hi,

I'm using PSP X6 and trying to separate and move individual letters in a word and I am using the following approach:-
White background
Type the letters using Vector text.
Select the word with the pick tool.
Choose Objects/Convert text to curves/As character shapes.

But at this point nothing seems to happen! From the various Googling that I have done, this should place each letter in a separate layer so that they can be manipulated individually.

Am I misunderstanding the use of this function or doing something wrongly?

Thanks in advance.

Not on individual layers, but as individual objects inside the current vector layer.

So if you open the vector layer you'll find a vector group, and if you open the vector group you'll see an individual object for each letter.

Thanks Levifiction,

This makes sense but doesn't happen. If I click on the ungroup button, I still have only the background vector and 'vector1' which contains the whole word.
If I click on "layers" on the toolbar at the top, "Ungroup layers" is dimmed out.

I'm missing something somewhere quite basic!!

I solved my problem and I knew it had to be something stupid !!!!

I wasn't using a vector font !! Doh........
