I am having a problem bringing a client file into Photoshop cs. The problem is that when I open it in cs the type wants to rejustify. If I open it in 7.0 it is fine. Is there a problem with my extensis suitcase folder, is it the atm they may be using or is there something else I am missing?

Jim,
Clicking on your name I see you post in the Windows forums. Are you in fact using a Mac now? If so, what exact version of OS X are you using?
More details on the file would help. Do you have the exact same font on both systems? Which font is it? Was the file created on a Mac too? If not, some reflowing is to be expected. (I assume when you type "rejustify" you mean "reflow". Am I right?)

Oops! Yes, I am in fact using Mac 10.3.4 I am not sure of the terminology reflow tracing. The type spacing is spreading out getting wider.

<< The type spacing is spreading out getting wider. >>
That sounds as though your client set the type to Justify.
Try selecting all of the text and changing it to "Left Align Text". (This is in the left hand group in your Paragraphs palette rather than the confusingly-named: "Justify last line left" in the central group).

Ann why is it that 7.0 opens fine. but CS is doing this left align thing? Oh by the way your answer saved me on that particular instance. I work for a large prepress company and sometimes we get files from, god only knows, anyway there is no telling what designer or mac " artist worked the file. I just found it kind of strange that 7.0 thw type was fine, but CS Wanted to do something else.

The Text Engine changed.
You will find it a great improvementonce you get used to it. (Check out the new options in the fly-out menus in the paragraph and character palettes.)
