    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

    When you go into VIew > Outline view - is the text black? If not, it's not text.

     

    Can you perhaps show a screenshot?

    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
