Select the Fill Tool on the main tool bar. (To select
a tool, click it with the Selector Tool--the arrow pointer). Click the text with the Fill Tool to select it. From the drop down list of Fill Types on the Infobar, select Linear.
You will see an arrow that extends from the center of the text to the right side of the text. This arrow is called the Fill Path arrow. You can drag both ends of the arrow to change the length of the linear fill as well
as the direction. Arrange the fill path so the black is on the top and the white is on the bottom. Click on the small box at the top of the arrow. Open the Color Editor by clicking the small
color wheel icon to the left of the screen color palette. Change the black to the RGB colors shown above. The first value is for red, the second is for green and the last is for blue.
Click the bottom square on the fill path and change the values as shown. If you are not familiar with the Color Editor, see the section below. Otherwise you may go on to the next page.
Drag the text cursor over
the text to highlight it.
Select the Fill Tool on the main tool bar. (To select
a tool, click it with the Selector Tool--the arrow pointer). 
When you open the Color Editor, if
you only see half the menu, click the small button just under the X to Display Advanced Options.
