Why cant i use fontwork on regular text? Its grayed out

I folled the instructions and tips I can find. I pinned it to my toolbar, but for some reason it is grayed out and wonk let me select it no matter what I do

Fontwork creates an “independent” object including graphic text. So there is no direct connection to your flat text contents.

Correct is…
