Illustrator CS2 Killer Tips

By default, placed images are not visible in Outline mode (Command-Y [PC: Control-Y]). If you'd like to be able to see placed images while you're in Outline mode, go to Document Setup in the File menu. In the dialog that appears, check Show Images In Outline Mode. Any placed image will be visible, albeit in a poor-quality, black-and-white bitmapped version. Still, it can be helpful to see even this mediocre view if you're trying to edit objects in Outline mode.
