I have several lines that cross each other defining a closed area. I'm having trouble simply filling this enclosed area with a color, it only colors the lines that make up the area. Does this area need to be defined some other way?
Try selecting all the lines and open Pathfinder window. In the Pathfinders part of the window click on Divide - the first pathfinder. That will give you the area created by the intersection of the lines. Then fill that.
If you want to keep the rest of the lines, if they go further than the intersections, use the pen tool and click on each corner (including clicking the first corner again so as to close the path you've just created) of the area you want to fill. Then fill that.
