problem with copy paste

[vikki]

Good Morning I have been sitting here for an hour trying to do this. I have done it before but with only one word. Now I cannot seemto get it to copy with out being all jumbled up. I select all then copy then paste. I can do that but then I try and select all copy and paste to fill. It just all jams up and is a mess on the matt. I want to decorate clear plastic cups for my granddaughters 1st birthday party. I have it like this Ariels
1st
Birthday
What could I be doing wrong? Thank you

Try exporting your artwork the way you want it as an SVG file. Open a new file and import the SVG file and try copying that.

Did you group all your words together first before copy and pasting ???
