[Gimp-user] Select > Grow / SHrink Disabled

[dmcentee <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi,
New user here. I'm trying to make an outlined text. So I created a new project,
default size, added a line of text. I selected the text using the move tool - I
can move it around so I know that it is selected.

Now I want to Select > Grow,  but grow and shrink are grayed out and I can not
use the grow or shrink option.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
