Text objects can be manipulated like sprites the same way, which is really cool and is a one up from any other language. Curious why you want to convert it to a sprite?

I would like to apply the SeSpriteScissor command on strings objects.
I need to create a scrolling list of editable strings

Johnny beat me too it! But I was ALSO going to say that you can actually update the string variable that the text object uses and even setup a collision box that can be edited and updated whenever needed, pretty quickly too. ALSO, if you want to create a scrolling list of constantly updated strings, using a text object is actually easier and extremely faster than having to constantly create a text object / or update a string in a text object / or delete an old text object and than create a new text object with an updated string, and than scroll it accordingly...phewwwwwwww!! I'm winded from saying that in one sentence!

DrawSprite is also a good command to print text self on the screen. At each Draw you can exchange the Image (Font Char)
