I did find that under "open file" there is a choice for the Adobe Illustrator .ai files, but when I tried to open the file, I received the error message: "No CorelDraw compatible version installed." Help!

I believe that instead of them using their own import engine, they are using Vector engine from CorelDraw to import vector-based graphics, therefore you are pretty much required to have CorelDraw installed. However, before I had accquired CorelDraw, I believe I was able to use Adobe Illustrator to convert the vector (or save as) to a WMF file, which I believe will allow Stitch Era to import without requiring CorelDraw. Give it a shot!

I believe also... that later Microsoft Office products can import CDRs and Illustrator EPS files. If you can open these in Powerpoint, they can be exported as EMF or WMF vector files. These can then be imported into ERA. If the vector conversion isnt satisfactory (smetimes it´s not), you can scale the graphic, do a screenshot and paste into ERA.
