Well, I actually went with the Repeat Direct option. It's just that if you have long passages of text you have to be fairly precise as to where the start and end of the gradient are, otherwise it gets out of synch. I done learned sumthin'! Thanks for the help, folks. Hoepfully this will be useful to...

You could try just having multiple evenly spaced stops on the gradient. For instance, a three-line text object would have six stops. Then simply manipulate the gradient to cover the text. When home I'll attempt this and post the results. I was trying that as well but had to leave for work. That mig...

Thanks. I tried that, and it works for a few lines, but then gets out of sync. Odd. I'll have to try being more precise. Or I'll just break the lines into separate objects.

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to apply a gradient to a multi-line text object so that each line got it's own gradient? Example: This is line 1 This is line 2 This is line 3 If I have a vertical gradient that goes from black to white, I'd like both lines to have their tops black and botto...
