    For those struggling to use the blend tool try and convert font to outline because it only worked for me this way not sure why. Maybe because my program is Adobe 2023

    The part I can't understand is how you manage to do it without outlining the text first during the use of blend. I have to outline the text.
    I wish I could do it whitout outline the text to change the wording.

      So you guys need to make three of the text and select all of it using "direct selection tool", after that go to "Type" and select "create outlines". You guys could move the words using the "direct selection tool" and move it to your liking. Once you're there click the "blend tool" and choose specified steps and enter any number you want and then click the words.
