I was going to post an example related to Access' "Text with holes tut" when I noticed that you cannot change the color depth of bitmaps in Xara X1 anymore http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif ! So what are you supposed to do if you want to change a color/grayscale bitmap to black&white with 50% threshold raster pattern (it was possible in the previous Xara version)???
