cutting out the centre of an object

Hi all.

Im having a real problem with this. Im trying to cut out the centre of the letter R below. Normally I break curve apart, select the centre, and trim it from the outer. I can then select the centre piece and remove it. As you can see, this has worked with the letters P & O. When I do it with the R it seems to have worked, to the point where I can even select the centre and remove it, but when I put it back over a coloured background, it is still white. Anybody know the answer?

  • I use a macro to solve that problem.

    Sub ToggleWindingRuleOfSelectedObjects()
        Dim s As Shape
        For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes
            If s.Type = cdrCurveShape Then
                If s.FillMode = cdrFillWinding Then
                    s.FillMode = cdrFillAlternate
                Else
                    s.FillMode = cdrFillWinding
                End If
            End If
        Next s
    End Sub
