Question
All of a sudden on my CS2 Adobe illustrator, the transform palette is missing
the reference point locator. HELP!

Answer
Any weirdness like that means it is time to delete your preferences.

Instructions for that are different depending on whether you are Mac or PC, but basically, you.

1 - Quit Illustrator
2 - Locate the file called AIprefs (PC) or Adobe Illustrator X.0 Prefs file (Mac, where X is a version #. It may be located in a hidden folder, so be sure to include hidden folders and system files when you do your search.
3 - Delete that file.
4 - Restart Illustrator.

That should fix it.

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
