Adobe Illustrator/Rows And Columns

Question
Hi. I've just changed to illustrator cs2 and i cant seem to find the "Rows and Columns" tab which used to be under 'type'. Have they removed the tool? I can't seem to find it anywhere else. Please help. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Joy,

It's located under Area Type Options.

It can only be used in a type area (versus type on a path), so make sure you create a type area before trying to use it.

Here's a link to a little guide on the CS2 type tools.

Good luck!

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.
