I'm new to illustrator Please HELP!

I'm new to illustrator and I am following the example directly from the adobe website and I keep getting this error when I am joining paths. The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects (Compound paths, Closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group). I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

shredm,
You need to have two open paths to be able to Join.
You may select each and look in the Window>Document Info palette (after clicking Objects in the fluout, click the arrow), where you can see whether the path is closed or open.
You may create two paths with the Line Segment Tool and join them to see whether/that the fundamental function of Join works.
