Tell me more ×  I'm converting hand-drawn and scanned letters
into vector paths via live trace. So far, so good.  The next
step I need to do is break up the live-traced letters into
individual objects, so I can move them around, independently of
each other. But after live-tracing, the object seems to have the
dimensions of the original .psd file it was copied over from,
and I don't see a way to ungroup or otherwise extract the
different letters from the trace are.  Is there a way to break
there letters out of the traced object so I can manipulate them
individually?  share|improve this question Did you click the
"Expand" button on the Control Bar after tracing? –  Scott Sep 7

movable. –  Hrulga Sep 7 '12 at 0:46 "Expand" - ah - that was
