First off you need to have the texture (bmp or jpg) you want to use. Try to choose a small file and one that would appear seamless when tiled. Import the image - File > Import.

Step 1

Create your text or object you want to fill with the texture and break it apart - Modify > Break Apart (Ctrl + B).

Step 2

Next, select your imported image and break that apart as well.

Step 3

Select the dropper tool and click on the image. That should pick up the texture and your cursor should look like a paint bucket with a little padlock image beside it.

Step 4

Click on your text\object and it should fill the texture in. Thats it!
