Text behaviour in Illustrator - Graphic Design Forum and Web Design Forum

How do I make text behave as an object in Illustrator? Is there a simple way? I want to be able to easily resize and rotate some text in the same way I'd be able to adjust a rectangle for example.
I don't know if I dreamt this or not, but I seem to recall there being a way of doing this easily, but I can't find it now.

And be sure to take advantage of the Envelope feature with your outlined text.
