    Frances, you win hands down in the "Intricate" category of tutorials, no less "Comprehensive"!

    Question I'd like to throw out: does our community prefer short, specific tutorials, or more involved ones like this one? I realize it's a lot of work for Frances and anyone else who attempts a large tutorial, and I'd like to gather some opinions on preferences. There is no "correct" answer, and if people like a mix of long and short, that's good to know for future offerings, too.

    My Best,
    Gary

    I think a mix is good Gare. Just my opinion of course.
    Good one Frances.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I have no problem with a mix, but not being a native english speaker, I do prefer a written text over a video tutorial.

    I love these tools

    Noted, and I'm making an effort right now to create a transcript of this month's video into a PDF text file.

    We had no time for the past two months and we sort of forgot to do it.

    Thanks!
