Thanks for the help and the links Pat. I´m very slowly beginning to understand the concepts used by WritePro. In 4D Write I could just set all the attributes to my liking and then insert my text. In WritePro I have to insert the text, select the inserted text and then apply attributes. Seems all very backwards to me. Takes about double the lines of code and is four times as hard to understand (at least for me). Well, I guess I will have to get used to it.
