outline path?

[spir@adobeforums.com]

I need to make an logo outline path so i can use it in
Adobe After FX. I need to have 1 path of the whole logo
for example the word: oFuse (underlined). I can make outlines
but then it doesnt form a word but all lettres individual.
So the lettres must be attached to eachother so if you follow
one line it has to go all over the word. Anybody knows what i
mean?

great thx

After you turn your type to outline then use the combine function in the Pathfinder. I'm not sure this is what your looking for but try it.
