Help! - Switching windows within Illustrator

Anybody know the command (shortcut) on how to switch between windows in Illustrator? For example: If I have 2 ai files open and I want to go back and forth between the 2, how do I do that? I obviously know how to do through the window file menu, but is there a quick default command already?
I'm using a PC, Adobe Illustartor CS3.
- Also, anybody know how to change the default swatches library. I want to add my own swatches every time I open up a new document.

Yes, Thank you!

Switch windows within program in text edit in yosemite

When I started using Mac (back with 10.4 or someting) you could switch windows within programs using cmd+< or cmd+shift+< (cmd+>). This worked for every program, and I see it as an essential core to how OSX handles it's programs windows. And it's a really feature, IMO.
However, some versions back (I don't remember if it was 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) someone changed this in Mail. When writing an email, the shortcut cmd+< changes the indent level. cmd+shift+< still changes the window. This is VERY frustrating. When I noticed this, I thought "alright, whoever came up with this idea should get fired!" Well guess what? He or she wasn't. This person still works at Apple and has now got his or her hands on Text Edit. In Text Edit in Yosemite, these shortcuts zooms in and out! And there is no longer any shortcut to change the windows within Text Edit. I'll say it again: Please fire this person before he or she destroys more! And make sure to change back so that cmd+< works for all programs.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Switching windows within an application

So I know that I can use the apple+tab to switch between applications. I'm wondering what I can hit to switch between two windows of the same application. Like if I have three open firefox windows, hitting apple+tab will only let me switch to iTunes or something else, not the other firefox windows. Thanks for the help.

This application will.

Command -` for switching windows within an application

I ran an update to 10.6.5 last week and suddenly I appear to be unable to scroll between tabs within an application using Cmd - `.
For example, using safari i was able to scroll between tabs using this keyboard shortcut, and in excel I was able to scroll between Workbooks.
I have the option checked under
System Preferences | Keyboard | Keyboard Shortcuts | Keyboard and Text Input | Move focus to next window in application = ⌘`

Disapearing fonts within Illustrator CC

Hi everyone,
I've purchased fonts, downloaded and clicked through to the install page. They've installed and are instantly ready to use within Illustrator CC. Problem is, is that, when I close and re-open Illustrator (after a re-boot/shut down etc), the new fonts are not there. I click through to install pages again, it tells me that this font is already installed and do I wish to replace it? I select yes...double check...and it's back within CC again. I don't want to have to do this everytime I open Illustrator.
Illustrator CC (up to date)
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Incidentally...the fonts I've installed have installed themselves within Windows>Fonts. Can't find a Common Files>Adobe>Fonts folder though (should there be??).
Thanks for any help...This is doing my head in to be fair

/Users/"you"/Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Fonts
but really you should be using a fonts manager. you can use FontBook to install fonts.

Multiple forms in multiple windows within application

hi,
our user wants to be able to open more than one form in multiple windows within the application and have them within the application window at the same time. we are planning to use open_form instead of call_form to do this. however open_form does not let me specify the query mode, so i guess will have to do that manually? what does Oracle recommend as a best practice for applications - to support mutliple windows or not? if yes, as call_form or open_form?
thanks.

Yes using open form you will have to manually (in code) switch into Query Mode.
We recommend Open Form over call form as it is more memory efficient, of course there are situations when the behaviour of Call Form is useful but generally I'd encorage the use of open.

CS2 Convert RGB Images to CMYK Within Illustrator

Hey everyone. I desparately need some help here. I designed a file in Illustator CS2 and my file had images within it. I took it to a professional printer and he said my images needed to be converted from RGB to CMYK to print properly. The printer had CS4 and he said to change the colours you click on Edit -> then Colours, which in turn allowed him to change the pictures format from RGB to CMYK. I only have CS2 and when he told me to select Edit and then Colours, well CS2 does not have that. It's something completely different.
If someone out there knows how to change the picture files from RGB to CMYK "within" Illustrator CS2 could you please tell me how as Adobe's phone support only deals with the most current version.
Any help you can provide me with, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Julie

>This is for my benefit as I have just purchased a colour laser printer and wanted to be able to print something proper like the professional printer.
Unless you have a PostScript RIP for your laser printer (a separate driver provided either by your printer manufacturer or a third party) you cannot proof CMYK documents directly. Lacking a PostScript RIP, you can still get a pretty good idea if you have Acrobat. Print to PDF using settings that convert to, say, sRGB... then, print that PDF document on your laser printer (using its native non-PostScript driver).
For your older documents, if your placed RGB images are embedded (rather than linked), you can try Philip's suggestion. It shouldn't matter, though. Illustrator should do the necessary space conversions at print-time.
If the images are linked, I would suggest you convert them to CMYK in Photoshop. I'm sorry, but I do not know of a way to do the same thing within Illustrator (v12 aka CS2).

Can't open files within illustrator

I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite and recently I haven't been able to open any documents/files within illustrator (only from the launch screen). Both cntrl+O and file>open will not allow me to open any files within illustrator. Every time i need to access an existing file I have to quit and launch illustrator again. This is horribly frustrating as I need to juggle between client work. I rebooted my computer and this didn't resolve the issue. Please help or fix this issue.

Did you reinstall all of your Adobe apps after the upgrade to 10.10? Adobe products don't do well with migration but want a reinstall.
Did you mean Cmd-Open. Ctrl is for Windows

HELP. Window pops up on Firefox browser that says JavaScript Application, and under that it says 101. There is an OK bitton. when I click OK, up comes the window again. Then after hitting OK again and box goes away, when I move my mouse the box comes up identically again. I even called Apple support. They tried things; told me it may well be some set'''bold text'''ting in Firefox Preferences. This started right after Mac Update Install upon closing. Any help, please. My browser is totally (obviously) stuck in this loop!!! [email protected] jason

Lately when using Firefox the mouse no longer works and no links or tabs can be selected. The only way to get the mouse to work is to switch windows with ctrl+tab

The mouse is completely unavailable, not even able to select anything on the taskbar or start button.
When this started happening I had to restart firefox, then I tried opening the task manager to see if anything was hogging resources and I found simply opening the task manager freed up the mouse, then I found simply using alt+tab to switch windows did it, then I discovered using alt+tab to cycle through the available windows straight back to firefox does it.

Hi,
OK. That means the default display lange of the OS is Thai. That is what was purchased.
You can try downloading and using the language appropriate LIPS (language interface package software) from Microsoft to change the display language.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
Windows 8 is version 6.2.x
Windows 8.1 is version 6.3.x
If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
