How does one create a fill across MULTIPLE shapes. 

Meaning the SAME fill. 

What I’ve done is created two words of text, and applied a fill (gradient) to it. Then as I converted it to
a shape to further modify the shape, each shape took on the fill of the whole thereby creating their
own individual gradient fills. GRRRRRRRR! Not what I wanted and created a problem where one did
NOT exist, so now I have to fix that just to get to the actual issue I was trying to fix. Grrrrrrrr!

Attitude aside, how do I create the SAME fill the stretches across multiple shapes as it was before I converted it to a shape ? 

Image below is what I’m looking for. Image on the TOP is what I have, Image on the BOTTOM is what I want. 

Just so that we’re clear, the image on the BOTTOM is when the text was all one art text, with a gradient applied to it (which is what I want). 
Image on the TOP is AFTER I had converted the image on the right, to a shape.

I want to maintain or refill the shape with the original gradient fill. 

Is that possible ? 

Grrrrrr, annoyed right now....

Hi MilesXx,

Welcome to the forums :)

When I create artistic text here and apply a gradient to it then convert the text to curves the gradient shows as it does in your 2nd example. Please could you provide a screen recording showing how you got the text into the state shown in your first example?

Thanks

It’s doing that because you used the gradient overlay, instead of using the gradient tool to fill the color as a gradient. I’m not sure why, specifically, they would be treated differently, but I just tested with both and when I use the gradient tool it works as you are expecting, but using the gradient overlay fx it works as you are currently experiencing.
