    Knife tool does not always work

      This must be the day for things to be tricky with AICS3.
      I have two compound shapes, equivalant as far as the Appearance palette is concerned. The knife tool works fine on one, but not on the other. If I convert it to a compound path, it still does not work. All I want to do is take a filled face and cut it into two pieces; what could be more simple? I run into this sort of thing all the time with CS3, but usually can monkey click a way to make it work. This time I'm stumped. How do you reliably cut a shape (compound or otherwise) into two pieces? I mean, really, what could be more basic? Very frustrating, these tools that only work some of the time on some of the objects.
