    AI CS3, stroke cannot be placed on inside or outside of path

      I have some text, in a sans-serif font, converted to paths. I want to adjust the stroke to the outside of the path (in the "align stroke" palette.) This works on the capital letter "F", but not on the "O." I've made sure there are no compound paths anymore. In fact, the descriptions in the appearance palettes are identical for each shape. I've tried using both selection arrows. I drew a circle shape, thinking it was a problem with curved paths. The circle allowed me to change the placement of the stroke. I then noticed that the letter "N" had curved portions, but it allowed me to change the placement of the stroke. Everything points to each letter shape having identical properties, but the stroke location buttons are grayed out on the "O" and "S" shapes. It really doesn't make sense. Does anyone have an idea?
