How long have you been using Campaign Cartographer?
That's a pretty good question. The earliest map I could find in my collection that I actually made and used for a game is dated 2005, but that was not the first time I used CC.
I think my first encounters was with the cut back version - Campaign Mapper - which shipped with the Core Rules 2.0 product back in 1999. I remember picking this up pretty early after it's release. I think I also got the FR Atlas around that time, probably around 2000.
Most of my early maps were simple modifications of the FR Atlas maps.

Problem with red marks appearing on maps
Red X'es like this means that CC3+ isn't able to find external art files referenced from the map file.

CD3: Advanced Street Settings
The only way is really to just load them up in the house style editor [HOUSEOPT] and look at them one by one.
To quickly look through them without clicking yourself to death, take advantage of the fact that Windows GUI components are keyboard friendly. Simply use the top dropdown and click on the very first style in the list to select it and collapse the list, then as long as you don't click any other controls, it will be the active control, and you can go through the styles using the arrow keys.

Lighting Issue
I haven't read the text from the annual issue, but if the instructions feels unclear, don't hesitate to give Ralf a word about it. There are many people reading those things that don't hang around here.

I notice if i translate the text, i have a english white text in the background. How can i change it?
This is because these maps were made in CC2, before things like effects. So to have a outline on the text, it is actually two text entities with the exact same text, one with regular filled text, and the other set to only show the outline. This was done to make the text more readable.
However, this means that you will need to do the edit twice, once for each text entity. If you have trouble selecting the right one for edit, try hiding some of the TEXT layers (either everyone marked OUTLINE, or everyone NOT marked as such.
As Wyvern said above, it is better that you start your own topic if you have any follow-up questions that are related to your own work and not the atlas repair project.
