    Organizing 100 2x2 photos in a large poster - can I make a table?

    I really don't know much about the table option, but if I were assigned this project, I would use Photoshop for all of it. (I'm using CS not CS2, so I'm not sure if this info is different for doing this through Bridge.) Go to File>Brouse, then navigate to the folder containing all of the...

    Join Command - Having Trouble Using

    Well, Illustrator does not call them "closed endpoints" as far as I know, but that would be a point along a line segment, so that the point has a line entering and a line leaving (this btw is the limit for vector points, you can't have a point with three line segments). So you are correct in...

    Join Command - Having Trouble Using

    An open endpoint would be the last point that you have on a line segment; it will have a single line coming into the point, but no line leaving it. I use the join command by selecting the two points I want to join with the direct selection tool. This can get tricky if you are trying to select...

    Text that is arched on the bottom, but is lined up on the top

    This can be done easily with Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Warp, then choose Arc Lower, click the Preview check box to on, and set the Bend to a negative number. Good luck!

    Drawing a shooting star in illustrator

    Or, if you have a shape you already like, simply rotate the shape into the desired oreintation before you start the 3D work. You could also make a shape by using the Star tool (in the tool pallette under the rectangle tool), and making some curves with either the Pen tool or the Arc tool, or...

    need to make words take the shape of a letter

    The baseline of a piece of text is the line that the letters seems to "sit" on - like the blue lines on a piece of ruled writing paper. So if you did not shift the baseline of a piece of text that goes in the opposite direction of the rest of your text, the letters would appear to be "under" the...

    Consistent Wavy Line

    If I were doing this, I'd turn on the grid and the snap to grid feature. Then I would be able to make my curves (with the pen tool) very consistant by moving the control points a set distance every time. You could also try just drawing a straight line and use the warp feature to make it curve...

    need to make words take the shape of a letter

    You may actually need to make several paths for your type. I notice on both letters that the direction and baseline of your type changes. This may be a little tricky to do, but no too difficult. Practice first by trying to put type on a fairly simple path (like an oval) and the trying lots of...

    Cannot join paths...

    Join only works on two "open" end points on a line. Select the point using the direct selection tool (open arrow tool) and then join the paths. If this does not work, make sure you are only selecting the two open end points on the paths you are joining, and not including any "stray" points. YOu...

    Help with strokes please!

    It's a little hard to diagnose from your description, but the first thing I would check is to open your layers pallette and see if you have perhaps duplicated the object. Removing the stroke from on object will not remove it from all of them. You could also try selecting on objcet that has the...

    Help embedding letters in Illustrator

    Same answer to both of these questions. Go to your Color pallette (Window>Color or hit the F6 key). You will see on the left of the pallette two overlapping squares. The upper left square is the object fill and the lower right square is the line stroke color. Select the upper left square and...

    Talk Bubble Issues

    Check your toolbar (right under your menubar). You may have the tool set to create Paths (2nd option). I think what you are looking for is Shape Layers (1st option).

    When creating PDF, huge file size

    I'd start by going to the Symbols palette, select the right facing fly-out arrow, and click "Select all unused", then drag the selected swatches to the trashcan at the bottom of the palette. Do the same with the Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches palettes. Then save your document and see how...

    Nice, closed corners on dashed lines?

    I'd do this by making a custom pattern brush and applying this to your line. You can even make the corners do funky things if you like. Check your brush libraries for good examples.

    Losing Adjustment layers on when flatten

    You could try updating to 7.0.1 which might fix the problem. I also had some issues with 7.0 and this seemed to fix them. Go to the Adobe site and seach for photoshop 7.0.1 update. HTH
