Hey Rick,
Thanks for the info. I had some trouble at first when I tried your suggestion.
I was creating outlines out of my text and then I was selecting the Layer 1 circle to select all the artwork and releasing to layers and it just made another layer with a “group” layer and all the artwork below it. I finally realized I needed to select the "group" layer circle below layer 1 and then do a release to layers. That's when I got it to work and then selected all the layers and dragged them above the top layer.
I still have a hard time with how Illustrator 10 uses the layers and as soon as you put something on it there's a “sub-layer” and then maybe a “group” layer and then “compound path” layer.
Gracias,
Al
