In the meantime, Mike have you had a look at any of the previous videos I've done on Xara plus Filter Forge? There are links to them through out this forum or if you click the youtube link in my signature you'll find them (and a bunch more Xara videos)

I'm hoping to have time by maybe wed, at this point though I'm not sure it seems Mother Nature has decided to add shovelling snow to the list of things I have to do today!
