Shape tweening problem

[pa902]

I use the type tool to write a word and I break it apart-then I create frames to say 25 and Type the word that I want to tween to. I break that apart and try to creat a shape tween and it say the thing about not being able to shape tween symbols and groups -I can't get the tween to work and Im definately breaking the words apart to simple shapes- can anyone help I'd really appreciate it...Thanks

Type the text in the first frame, but dont break it apart, insert a keyframe where you want it and select the same text on the new keyframe, edit it, and then break it apart. Go back to the first frame and break that text apart too and then add a shape tween.
It should work.
