Opening documents
When you start Adobe Illustrator, the
program automatically opens a new
document. You can also create a new
document at any time, once Illustrator is
running. In either case, a new document
appears with the name
Untitled art in its
title bar.
You can open existing documents as
well as create new ones. An existing
document appears with its name dis-
played in the title bar.
