    Have had a few replies to this query.

    I can not convert to Full Text conversion ... i am doing coursework. Using Adventure Works Sample database can some one explain in a little more  ABC language. In the drop down from dbo.publishers the Full Text Index is greyed out. How do i go from there to convert?

    Please be patient.

    Looks like the database is not enabled for Full Text Search. Execute the following from a new Query window:

    USE <database name>
    EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
    

    And then check if the Full-Text option is still grayed out.
