What are changes take place when you Outlined the Stroke because I cannot see any changes in the image? 

 

Correct answer Monika Gause

You cannot see that, but it prepares the artwork for something else to happen later.

Hey @MahaB82A 

"It's a simple way to convert a path with a thick stroke into an object and then use it as a building block in your designs. Adobe Illustrator turns your object's stroke value into the dimensions of a new shape."

Outline Stroke is quite useful when you want to make adjustments to a certain "Font Style". Maybe you want to make the Font style thinker, thinner, wavy, or you simply just want to modify the text to suit your project.

If you want to make a font thicker or thiner, just apple the Offset path effect.
