Hello

Thanks for the reply.
I was only importing Tiffs and Jpegs and initially everything worked without the merge/insert
message. The behaviour changed after the crashes. I was using the import dialogue/arrow.
I had initially thought I had a corrupt file, but it seems not the case. The final image is A1 size and there are a lot of high res images. I got round the problem, by opening the image I wanted and copying and pasting it in. I should have dragged and dropped, but did not think of it as I have always used the import/browse dialogue, ever since I bought the original Xara Studio beta at the Windows show in 1993 or was it 1994?
