Unable to create a New Document in Adobe Illustrator

[Dora Bauer]

Hi there, I have not opened AI for a while and I am now unable to create a new document as the screen does not show any option for a blank custom document. The screen now only shows template options and the 'Creat' button is not highlighted. Please see the screenshot attached. Many thanks for your help in advance!

Hi there, me again, just to add, the previous New Document Dialogue box looked like this: but I cannot seem to accesss the screen any more, see the previous screenshot. Thanks

As a workaround you can try if in Preferences checking "Use legacy "File New" interface" helps.
