2. Command Shift + select the target object. This object should be highlighted in green. If it isn't, deselect everything and go to step 1.
3. Click Control in the main tool palette.
4. Click Path/Unpath in the lower tool palette.
5. To Unpath, hold option down click Path/Unpath in the lower tool palette.
