Hello there my friends, I think that I am using a different version of Inkscape than what Travis did when he created the tutorial for intersecting word art. I am able to keep up until I get to the kerning stage....after you get the letters where you want them you select and then go to object and ungroup. Here is where I hit my first snag. When watching the tutorial there is a square around each letter....on mine there is not, nothing happened. I tried union nothing. I am able to move the line, so I figure I will keep going. I can go as far as when I need to duplicate the family names, I duplicate pull down the orig. exposing the copy. I select the copy go to path, and select dynamic offset, then you grab the small diamond shaped object to widen the text......stop, there is no diamond. I can go no further. This same type of thing happened when I was going thru the portrait tutorial the simple fix was losing my newer version of Gimp and installing the older version. I suspect that might be the case here. I am using inkscape 0.923. What are your thoughts? Is there a different version I need to get? Thank You Gang.
