Betsy, Many of us have been lost before when encountering a new program or way of working. It actually is worse if you already have some experience because then you can get tripped up over an assumption. As a beginner, you don't have to unlearn anything or worry about carrying over habits and keystrokes from some other program. "It works this way in XXX" doesn't always help if you are learning YYY. You don't know if a question is really basic or really complicated... so just ask away. Try to put some info in the thread title so that if your question concerns lights or clothes, or backgrounds the right people can step in with an answer. A German version would mean that all the labels and menu items are in German, but Dr Geep's screen shots should help with some of that. Carolly
