I open new doc with text only. When I want to convert it to Compound path the command in the menu is disabled. Any suggestions. I'm using the latest version.

Correct answer Kurt Gold

Live type objects cannot be converted to a compound path in Illustrator.

 

You can create a compound shape in the Pathfinder panel. Or you may just group the text objects.
