Something has been driving me crazy with illustrator CS2: I have all the windows open I use often, i.e. tools, colors, stroke, etc. However every time I open the program the boxes are all moved around or some are not there and I have to open them again, etc. Example: The BIG problem that Im having trouble with now is that the font attributes box does not show, so Im typing text and have no little box to adjust the font, size, spacing, etc. How do I get that box to show again and if anyone can help me out with the issue of the boxes getting all scrambled around each time the program loads that would be great too! Thanks to all!
After configuring the layout of your windows/palettes you can save your customized Workspace - so the next time you start the program, everything should be laid out the same way.
Yup, just like Varelse said you can save your workspace after you have it set the way you want - even create a few different workspace layouts if you want. To see the font palette, look under Window > Paragraph to open the dialog box. Note: it may be in a tabbed dialog box. Hope that helps.
