opening FWCS3 file in FWCS4

Hello,
I've been designing a website using Fireworks CS3. After reading about all of
the new features in CS4, I ordered it. It arrived yesterday. After I installed
CS4, I opened the file I had been working on in FWCS3 in FWCS4. There was a
message that said "This file contains text that was created in a previous
version of Fireworks. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it.
Updating the text might change the appearance of your text." I clicked update
and the file opened with the type in the default font and all of the formatting
gone. In addition, the type looked degraded: really pixilated. When I reopened
the file in FWCS$, it would not come into the foreground so I couldn't work on
it. I quit the program and reopened the file and the type looks better. The app
wasn't frozen when I tried to escape, just inaccessible. So far, I'm not happy
about the upgrade.

My question: Is this my inexperience with the Fireworks CS4 app, or is this
version going to be a nightmare? And, of course, does anyone have suggestions?
I can put CS4 on the shelf until I finish this project if it means having to
remake all of the files.

Thanks!

Fireworks CS4 has new type engine.

You might want to take a look at this article about "Working with the Adobe
Text Engine in Fw CS4" on Adobe Developer Center | Fireworks Articles...

Hope that helps, no?

Thanks! I read the tutorial you sent me to and it was very helpful. Spent the
day in CS4 fixing all of the type that got messed up in the transfer. Earlier
today I quit the app, then re-opened it and type didn't look ragged like it did
the first time. I have no idea why, but I'm glad.

Thanks again,

Glad to know all is well with your CS4 app working out ok this time.

Cheers,
Brian
