    Hi there,

    I have some text that is different colors (letters within a single word are different colors)- I I select the entire word, then object to path, ungroup and then union, the union step changes all the letters to the same color. Any idea how I can keep the letters the same color?

    Under the same object, multiple paths can't have different colors.

    The question is why are you using union?

    I'm not sure why I'm using union... I have some text that is cursive and I'd like to create an svg with it- I thought I needed to use union at the end so all the letters would be together without any cuts separating them. Is there another option? Thank you!

    You need to keep each letter as a separate object: if you use "Union" or "Combine", the letters will be just one color.

    But if the text is cursive, isn't it already "together"?

    If you want something like the effect bellow, you need to use gradient
