Question
Amy I am a PC user using Illustrator 10 and I have been working on an illustration yesterday and today.  I had to shut down my computer and tried to open that file that I was working on earlier and I am not able to open it.  Its telling me that the Illustration exceeds and implemention limit.
Offending operator: "{SO/1eck-IWE{SO 00 1 TZ
%A13 EndEncoding TrueType
%A15 Begin_NonPrinting
Np
1 Bn
%A15_BeginGradient: (Unnamed gradient 1)
(Unnamed gradient 1) 02Bd

Thanks!  

Answer
Looks like that file is corrupt.   Not good, huh?

There are few things you can do if you didn't back up the file.  THe one thing I've had limited success with is to change the extension to PDF and see if it opens in Illustrator.

Sometimes that's the only thing you can do???  I know it's tough to hear.

If you like, you can send the file to me at AmyLynPace@yahoo.com and I can see if there's anything I can grab out of the file.
I'm a PC person, too.
