Problem with selecting text

[Rick_Arnaud@adobeforums.com]

Hi all-

I just created a business card design and went to convert the text to outlines before uploading to my prepress for a quote. I went to select all and then selected Create Outlines, but the individual letters were never outlined. Now, when I go to highlight the text, I can't see anything being highlighted but the text is still live. And when I try to use the direct select tool on bezier lines ,or anything for that matter, I can't tell when it has been selected.

I'm in regular preview mode, but can't see when things are selected and it's driving me to distraction. Does anyone know what I did?

Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Rick
