AutoCAD/Autocad Arced Text to polyline

Question
I have tried for several hours to convert some arced text to poly line. I figured out how to convert standard text to polyline but can't get it to work for the arced text. I also tried rotating the text I was able to convert but it doesn't come close to the same as the arced text. Please help. AutoCad 2010

Thanks
Curtis

Answer
Hello Curtis, my apologies for the delay as i just got back fr vacation. Here's my respond to your question.

Create your text using the Express/Text/Arc-Aligned Text command fr your pulldown.
'Explode' the arcalignedtext you just created.
Convert the individualized text using Express/Text/Explode Text command.
Clean up the objects if needed.

Hope this helps!
