Oops, I meant to say type SHIFT-cmd-G in Illustrator to ungroup everything
so you can delete the bounding box squares. Sorry, I get so automated in my

printing Finale pages to ps files and importing them into Illustrator CS5
as i recall there is a severe problem with exportation of custom
smart shapes in EPS
depends on what the student wants, i am able to do a lot inside
finale without recourse to external programmes. and i usually

double major (Art) and has good

What Richard says is true, but you can also export the Finale file as EPS via
the Graphics Menu. This will open in Illustrator and everything is editable.

Going directly from Finale to eps from the graphics window can leave fonts

and read here, more reliable. But, whatever works...
