I think they must mean Expand Appearance, because Expand wouldn't do anything in that situation.

I'm sorry but it's still not doing anything. when I expand appearance it just goes into one object and the only thing I can select is the whole thing. 


Please upload that Illustrator file to Dropbox or the like and post a link here.
