For paper, an even less expensive option is to re-use one-sided paper. Most print jobs don’t show through to the other side and leave a whole other page just waiting to be used!

Good tip. I already do this when I’m just doing roughs and thumbnails. Sometimes, when I have to print an email, my printer prints a second (almost) blank page with just a small header and footer. Now I get less annoyed by this, as I can use the paper. Then, unless the piece is important, I recycle. –Erik

Thank you for putting this out there. I’ve noticed a trend on blogs to have some kind of “radio” playing–so I stop looking/reading to hunt for the off button or just click away.

Select the object. Go to Object>Live Trace and choose Expand. That’s how you turn it into ordinary vectors. It’s still a grouped thing, so if you want to edit the vectors individually you’ll need to select it and choose Ungroup, perhaps twice if you left white in.

Thank you for that but I am a newbee to all this, in Illustrator cs2 how do I save to an object, and get it into “straightforward vectors?

Sorry I am such a dunce!
