Convert font text to polygon feature

Anonymous User

Does anyone know a way that I could convert actual text to a polygon feature?

I want to be able to type some text using a particular font onto a map or layout, then actually convert that text graphic into a polygon feature spatially placed.

cheers,

If you have an advanced license, you use the Feature Outline Masks tool on annotation feature classes.

If you describe your goal a bit more, perhaps there's a better option?
