no object to convert to path in the selection
I am trying to create a welded word in inkscape. I have typed the word in outline mode (each letter separately) and rotated them slightly and moved them together. I got the instructions from a website called craftedge that was written in 2008. Anyway, the next step is to select all the letters in the word and then convert the object to path. However when I do that I get a message in the status bar at the bottom that says "no objects to convert to path in the selection". I think I am missing a step - one person wrote in and said to convert the object to pattern first. When I tried that I got rectangles instead of letters.
When I select the word before trying to convert it, the message in the status bar says "12 objects of type Group in Layer 1". I only have one layer in my document.
