Fireworks won't export as Illustrator

Hi, I need to export my Fireworks-8 .png designs as Adobe Illustrator, but when
I do it, the output file is very small (73kb vs original png size of 9mb) and
when opened has huge "X"s thoughout and jumbled text. Does anyone know what I
might be doing wrong? Your suggestions would be very much apprciated!

You're not doing anything wrong. Fireworks only supports AI version 8
for export, so chances are the things you have in the FW document don't
translate to that incredibly old Illustrator version.

You will have better luck exporting as a Photoshop file, but even that
in FW 8 was not particularly good.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news . . .
