I'm wanting to simplify a logotype. Currently the letterforms are filled and stroked. Is there a way to join the fill and stroke so that I have only a filled object with no stroke but with the same dimensions as the original fill + stroke combined? I had thought this might be a pathfinder operation but don't find one that does what I'm after.

Thanks for any pointers.
