I was just using paremter dials to make changes. I will investigate the above tips (thanks all) to see if any work. Daisy

Hey, I like that "TAB" button to collapse all the palletes at the touch of a key. Sure beats indvidually collapsing each pallet with the mouse! Thanks for the tip. Daisy

Thanks Josh for the helpful tip. I'm using XP OS and some of the options are different to change the apperance, but I was still able to get the same result. Thanks again, Daisy

Thanks for the idea. I tried that some time ago, but I find the blue bar a distraction when making desicions concerning color. So, I work with a maximized document window to move that pesky blue bar further away from my doc. But wait a minute, I noticed in your above examples that there are not blue? Is there a way to change that bar color surrounding the document to, say, a gray like I have in my interface? Then I would just have the doc file info which is easy to live with and my problem is solved! Thanks for the tips! Daisy P.S. How do you include an image along with text when posting a message here?

This is what happens when your in hurry. I had a prop selected rather than a figure.

Thanks guys for taking the the time to see whar you get on your system (I was using P5). I will contact CL too see what they say. I will post the results if I recieve helpful info.

Thanks, I need to consult the PDF manual from now on when I find something suspect in the manual. Too bad there is know way to keep the animation cycling back to the begining when though.
