    Default Can't highlight text

    I have a file that we can't highlight the text. It is not locked or anything. We can select the text box, but can't edit the text. Three people looked at it on 3 different computers. Illustrator CS, Mac OX
    thanks in advance.

    Did you get a message about updating legacy text when you opened the file?

    I have no answer for you but thought I'd let you know that I periodically have the same problem with text. I'm running Illustrator 10.0.3 in Mac OS X (10.2.8). It's happened sporadically and is very frustrating!
