I'm SO frustrated! I mocked up this design the other day with no issues and today none of the functions are working. I dragged my image in, placed it behind the letter I want to use as a mask, selected both, then got this message???

duplicate the same word & ungroup until you have the needed path. Make it colorless and clip mask separately with the image and place your mask back where you want it on the word & group the whole thing. Make sure to delete the existing path on the word.

Hope this helps..

Being able to see your layers panel would clarify, but the message is pretty self-explanitory:


The selection cannot contain objects within different groups unless the entire group is selected.


You have objects from different groups selected. I assume that the entire word is a group but you only have one letter selected. Either select the goup, or ungroup and select the letter.
