    Default Opening Illustrator CS in Illustrator 8

    We recently upgraded all of our systems & software to the latest & greatest...

    Here's the problem... We have lots of old Illustrator files that we open in CS & save as eps files. When we go back to illustrator 8 & try to open the files we get a wonderful message... "Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains incomplete or garbled object description...."

    How do you save a CS file that can be opened by previous versions of Illustrator?
