Fix the Holes

A loyal reader asked how to fix the holes after breaking apart text. Need to see what we're talking about? Type out the word "holes". Convert it to curves (Ctrl + Q). Now break it apart (Ctrl + K). The middle of the "o" no longer has a hole. After you have broken apart a string of text, select all the pieces of a "broken" letter and combine (Ctrl + L) them back together. In this situation, select the two pieces of the "o", combine them and the hole will be back. If you had the number 8, you'd have three pieces since there are two holes.
