Ah, thanks to Gary I can finally add posts again.

Glad it worked for you Steve!

And, just a small post to say Hi again afetr two years of absence on this forum. Actually, Steve's question for help (and so many others the last years) helped me to return. This forum is a user base. It was one of the main strongholds for Xara. We (users) had a direct connection with the developers and through this forum the software developed and improved.
BUt a while ago I decided to abstain from posting because the community changed and was getting personal.

Bit still; some user still have questions and face problems (challenges, so you will). It's our obligation to make this software work. Xara Designer Pro (plus or not) has a tremendous rendering engine, a fluid workflow and can produce top notch graphics. I see Inkscape closing in, I see shifts in the professional graphics world (who ever thought Illustrator would be challenged by Serif, few years ago...) and still the most prommissing of all is trailing in the field. IMHO Xara Designer is the Swiss Army knife of the graphics world. The one package every user should have for their graphic needs.

And yes, it can be even better. But in essence: Xara Designer is a powerhouse and a wonderful piece of software. And it's user should help each other and the developers should have feed back from it's users to go the way it should go.

I will occasionaly drop in to help and assist users. I'm from the Netherlands; we're sometimes very direct and English is not our first language. So please, in advance, forgive me my way of expressing myself. I'll try to avoid the intricacies of the Anglo-saxon use of language ("interestiing remark you make there, I will consider" as an answer really means: "you didn't understand, I won't go with it"). I'm here to help and improve/
