Hi Glenn ithanks for asking. Say i got a white square then i put england in letters on top how do i make the white follow the england rather than being a square.

Hi Paul

If were on the same wave length, just simply put an outline around the text at desired thickness and colour.

Maybe Effects>PowerClip is what you’re after?

PowerClip allows you to take a background and put it inside another object so it creates the appearance of a cutout.

I think Tony is right, Powerclip I think is what you’re after.
Create your flag (Grouping the objects it may help)
Put text over flag
Select flag
Effects – Power Clip – Place inside container
cursor will turn into arrow
Place pointer inside text letter and left click
Lettering will now be filled with background. right clicking afterward will give a pop up with some other options for future editing
