    the thing about converting from my cs to an earlier illustrator is that it does not give me that option. its all eps or the same version option.
    unless I am totally missing something

    Bunnies have a lot of fun, because there are a lot of them,
    why are there a lot of them? because they have a lot of fun.

    Cheryl,

    When saving, at the bottom of the "save" dialogue box, choose the "Adobe Illustrator Document" option. Obviously.

    Then comes up a second dialogue box headed "Illustrator Options". At the top of that there should be a drop down menu offering the choice to save in various formats, as far back as Illustrator 3.

    You get the same options when saving as an Illustrator eps.

    That’s how it works on a Mac anyway, and I can’t see a PC being any different.
