Convert to curve from mesh/text

Hi, Looking at a tutorial for a Hologram effect I really want to try The guy converts his text by converting to a curve from mesh text. My problem is that all the points are toward the center / inside of the text instead of being around the edge of the text… Is there some hidden setting to make this happen…Blender 2.73 is being used. Also the blend file is just an example I was fiddling with not to alter my other project.

My problem is that all the points are toward the center / inside of the text instead of being around the edge of the text.

In the Text settings under Geometry, set the Offset value to zero

Ok Thanks I did that…it changing the offsett did change how my letters look…I did want them a little thicker but, its not a big deal… thanks
