Try combining the entire word as one object first. Also, it may be the order in which you're performing the boolean. Just in case, the object that is going to have the hole in it is selected first.
Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

i combined the text to one object (selected both and Polygon>Combine) and i tryed every order of shift-clicking the booleans and it still deleted. I think the problem is getting the text as an object. Any help with making it an object (already tryed the Polygon>Combine) any other ways?
