  Applying a Gradient Across Multiple
Objects In Illustrator® - Part Two

5. While all the objects are still selected, click Object > Compound Path > Make. Notice that the gradient is now applied across all the objects instead of each one individually.

6. Select the Gradient Tool from the Toolbox then click and drag the mouse across the selected objects.

7. Release the mouse and click off the object to see the effect.
