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.

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.
