Breaking objects in adobe illustrator

Hello:
I would like to know how to break objects in adobe illustrator.
Like when you have a text in flash and then break it apart. ctrl-b

The problem I have is that I´m designing a banner for print and I´ve done it on adobe illustrator and they need it on freehand. So when I export it freehand says it´s having problems with the fonts. Cause freehand doesn´t accept 14.5 pt for fonts or any in between.

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps.

Create outlines will break the fonts up so that they are vector.

The only reason I can think of for this happening is if you're trying to use a bitmap font that has no outlines and is only available at set sizes.

Freehand will accept point values of fonts with an accuracy down to 4 places to the right of the decimal point.

I was using a Verdana. And when I wanted to import it to freehand a message appeared saying I didn`t have that font installed. Replace it with ........ and from there it was a mess.

So I solved it doing it all over again.

When I used the font verdana for example 15.23 it rounded it. I`m not sure why but it did it.
I have freehand 10 and adobe illustrator 10.

Thanks for the help.
