Converting Linked Text to Paths

[grafixnaz]

Hello,
Is there any way to convert Linked Text to Paths?
Also, how does one un-link Linked Text?
Thanks,

Hmmm, I just found a sort of solution to my own question!
Select the linked text block, Clone it, send it to Back. Repeat with all
linked text blocks. Then delete the linked text blocks which will be in Front.
The cloned text blocks are unlinked, with their formatting intact, and can be
then grouped or converted to paths!

Easier and less error prone solution is to paste linked text blocks into
some rectangle and then cut the contents back. That also breaks the
linking.

IMO, Freehand should be able to convert linked text to paths, but maybe
that is too hard for Macromedia... ;-)

Normal way of unlinking text boxes is to drag the linking path to an
empty space in the document.
