Load your bitmap.
Type some text on top of it
And/Or draw some graphics on top of it.
Select all
Go to Arrange/Clipping/Clipping.
Your text will now clip the bitmap.

Or, if you have it.
Select your text.
Click on the stroke and Fill tool.
A flyout appears, and you may see a Pattern Fill botton.
Click it,
In the top left, there is a funny looking control whare you can browse for a bitmap. There are some options for how to fill the text with the bitmap.
