Thanks so much everyone. This was my first time of using the new upgraded XDP+ offline. What was weird… and pl remember I do this hundreds of times a month… is that when I went to the bitmap gallery, the images were there but none had the ability to be used as a fill. All options were grayed out. The only way to fill any object (vector or bitmap) with a bitmap was either by right clicking on the bitmap and selecting Fill there, or by going to the Fill tool on the main toolbar and selecting Bitmap as a fill from there.
