I have this suspicion that I meant 4.1.5.6!

But other people find it useful! So be it.

So be it! I have no idea when Deron first released versions for the Mac.

BM&gt; I'm pretty sure I never looked at the menu item

BM&gt; it--and it was turned on.

Yes, it is not so obvious. There is a tendancy to write "change it in Prefs,&quot; or
something like that, and the reader is expected to figure out how one gets to
'Prefs' and make the change.

I think I'm laughing! I guess that "little square&quot; was the "Place Graphic&quot;
icon. Yes, that could be a disappointment if one assumed it was the photo.

BM> I tried again--same thing.
BM> Then I found out what I could do with that little square, and "Place in

Well .... I can think of some situations where it would be useful and quick, but
those situations have not yet arisen in my work.
