I'm running ID CS6, v. 8.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8. When I try to convert type to outlines, the Create Outlines option is grayed out. Also, it says 'Create Outlines menu' instead of just 'Create Outlines'.
I tried selecting the text box as well as just highlighting the text but neither worked. I also tried different fonts to make sure it wasn't font specific.
I trashed preferences and saved data and restarted. No change.
