I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. I was working in Illustrator CS3. I must have hit an unknown toggle. The artwork I was working on all of a sudden converted to outlines. When, I looked in layers, everything looked normal. I can't seem to change it back from outlines. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks

Only your view changed, not your art. Try hitting Command-Y (mac). You can find this mystery key command in the view menu.

Thank you. I have another question if your interested. I have art that I want to show through the text only. Is this done in paths? Mask?

nhoffmee,

Go see Terry White's Podcasts at Creative Suite Podcasts and also check out MOGO media for answers to this question.

That will give you a good start.
