Hi Norma, Glad to hear you managed to get the poster fixed by your consultant. I still don't quite understand why there is a problem. As for Karen's tree, I intend getting my own up together for the Gathering, so must buy some software. If you can get Karen's file bounced on to me, I will give it a try when I am geared up. If all else fails, we can do a low tech job, and paste up her A4 pages and print them of on an A0 copier, (black and white only).
