You shall never convert text to outlines. If you have really learned it, then you learned a silly dump wrong thing.
Keep text alive in InDesign.
Converting text to outlines will destroy the editablility, will remove text frame strokes, will remove text frame colors, delete underlines, paragraph rules, strike throughs, automatic bullets and numbers, will cause problems with cross references and automatic text elements on master pages.
If your instructor was teaching that to you, ask for your money back.
