How to convert text to curves?????

Hi,

New to illustrator as well. When I select my text and go to the >Type > Create Outlines menu items it is greyed out. Not sure how to correct this.

Thanks

Kevin

Select all the text on the document

Then go to  > Type > Create outlines

Make sure you save a version for yourself where this hasn't been done, because once a document has been converted like this you can't undo it
