Impossible to make outlines from warped text?

In the past, when I was using earlier AI versions than CS5 it was no problem to warp text and then create the outlines of the text. Now, the option “create outlines” disappears when I do right-click on the warped text.

Lots of thanks in advance for your help!!!

      Are you sure?

      Object>Expand

      as follows

      you get this

      but with edit content you get this

      So if you want to say move the letters it might not quite work

      1. Object >> envelope Distort >> edit contents
      2. Deselect all
      3. Select type
      4. Create Outlines

      works in CS4.

      My appearance attributes are still editable, which I like.

          Many Thanks for your quick reply. But unfortunately I don't understand. It's just a text like this:

          What can I do now to create the outlines?

          Ah, sorry, didn't realize the new replies. Will check it out now.
