I hope it does not become the default on the Amiga

Annoying? Hmm, I must have seen it both. I was using opposite of "Place
Graphic in Center" in the old days of PGS (first Amiga, then Windows).
Then Deron changed it somewhere, and somehow I didn't seek to change
this "Place Graphic in Center".
At the moment I am 'busy' to rename the English color names into Dutch
for many illustrations (now a mix of English and Dutch names).
And for some illustrations I can replace parts with already changed
illustrations. That saves me a lot of time.
And then I became fond on "Place Graphic in Center"! I clicked the part
that should be replaced by an already made part. I zoomed in, delete the
part and Paste it with the part I copied before. Always on the spot!!
Maybe it can also be done with Replace Graphic also, come to think of this?
Anyway the change Deron made wasn't bad for me. Just you, and I mean you
PageStreamSupport mailers, show me that it can be done like in the old days.
I changed it for a few moments (not place in center), and my Pastes were
terribly wrong (not at the spot)!
