Using Text Tool and Split Text

6. Click your text in the workspace, then select Object>Text - Split Text. This breaks the text into individual objects. You'll see a marquee (dotted lines) surrounding each text object.

7. Now let's insert some more frames using the Duplicate Frame button on the Frame Panel. There are 14 characters in all for the text we've just created; so we'll add 13 more frames.

8. On the Object Manager Panel, select all text objects except the one that contains the first letter "h" by clicking the thumbnails as you hold the Ctrl key down.

NOTE: Confirm selection by looking at the workspace. Everything except the letter "h" should be selected by now and should have a marquee around each character.

9. With the objects selected, click the Eye icon to hide them in the workspace. Do not click anywhere in the workspace just yet to avoid making the selections again.
10. Let's move on to the next frame, Frame 3. Going back to our Object Manager Panel, look for the next letter ("a") and, while holding the Ctrl key down, click the Eye icon on any of the selected objects. All the characters except for the first two ("ha") disappear.
11. Repeat the process for the remaining frames until all characters have become visible in the workspace.
