I was wondering how to convert text to a mesh? I have tried using a variety of keys including Alt + C but no Convert To Mesh option appears. (new blender noob user here)

$\begingroup$ It works for me. It doesn't EXACTLY say "Convert To Mesh" but you should get a popup menu with two options. Are you on a Mac or Windows? $\endgroup$– Dale CieslakAug 18, 2018 at 23:02

In Blender 2.8 and higher, Alt+C isn't assigned to a command. But you can assign to it to the menu command Object > Convert To > Mesh. (Right-click the menu entry to the assign shortcut.)
Convert To Mesh works in Object Mode when the text is selected.

To convert the text, press Alt+C in Object mode with the text selected, and select "Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text", this will convert the text to a 3d mesh and you will not be able write letters like before.
