Question
"This file contains text that was created in an previous version of illustrator, the legacy must be updated before you can edit it"...

why is this happening when I created it with sc2?

thanks

Answer
Hi Helen,

Legacy refers to any text that was input prior to CS. You shouldn't be getting this if you are using CS2. Try using a different font, or creating a whole new document if you are using templates.

What could be happening is you didn't do a clean install of CS2 and components of an older version or old documents are still being used.


Either way, all you have to do is click update and it refreshes your text with the newer versions and you can save out from there. If you still get the same error when you reopen your document, you may need to reinstall CS2 after you completely clean out your hard drive.

Thanks

Kevin
