Mark@poser that worked a treat!

I'd been trying to export the head but the instructions in the poser manual are different for exporting to your instructions, and when i was trying to import it back in it kept telling me wrong number of vertices or something along those lines.
Thanks too for the screen shots.. appreciate that. 

THANK YOU! my sanity has remained intact (what sanity i have anyhow lol)
and I can now merrily carry on with my picture making :-D

Enjoy your day
Thanks
