Change the color and appearance of characters

You can change the color and appearance of type objects by applying fills, strokes, transparency settings, effects, and

graphic styles. The text remains editable as long as you don’t rasterize it.

1 Do one of the following:

• To change the appearance of specific characters in a type object, select the characters.

• To change the appearance of all characters in a type object, or to apply multiple fills and strokes, select the type

object.

• To fill or stroke a type path, select the type path.

2 Apply fills, strokes, transparency settings, effects, and graphic styles as desired.

When you change the color of a type object, Illustrator overwrites the attributes of individual characters in the type

object.

Use the Control panel to quickly change the color of selected type.
