Make sure you have the arrow symbol, and highlight the text (don't double

click or you'll go into text mode)

When the text has a square around it, hit the copy button. Then click INSERT,

New SYMBOL (or F8 key on PC's)

This will bring up the symbol dialog box, give it a name and hit enter. you

will now be at a blank stage. Hit the PASTE button and your text will now be

a symbol.

Go back to your main timeline and delete the text, and replace it with your

symbol.


Your supposed to be able to just highlight an object and hit CTRL - F8 (PC)

and it will convert it to a symbol, but I haven't had this work for me on the

PC, I always have to copy and paste into a new symbol.
