    converting to spot color

    Skewing live text

    I have some text on a circular path (on the inside of the path) and need to skew it. We don't have the italic version of it and skewing will be close enough with this one. Problem is that it's fit to the curve; would be a 3-second fix, otherwise. Haven't converted it to curves yet... Thanks in...

    Palettes moving

    When I 'wake' the PC after screen saver has been on, my palettes (except for the main tools palette) are moved into the middle of the work area. Minor problem, but I'm finally annoyed enough to figure it out and fix it. Any ideas? Thanks! -E 'There is no LEASH LAW for the IMAGINATION!'...

    .wmf files- pros/cons, when do I use them?

    Hello, Was recently thinking about .wmf files & how I have only used that format a few times when going from an earlier version of corel to an earlier version of AI. It stopped the issue of letters with knockouts being 'sliced open' into 2 sections. What is the best use for this file type...

    Edges of gaussian blur areas

    Good morning, Here's what may be an easy one (hope so!) Sometimes when I use the gaussian blur, there are 'edges' where the blur just stops. Why? How can this be avoided? Are there related problems I may not have hit yet that I can avoid? Thanks!

    Free Transform Tool

    ...what's the point? I am a self-taught AI user, and have never really seen the point of the free transform tool, when the same transformations may be effected using the regular selection arrow. Is there some feature I'm not seeing? Thanks! -EWX
