Hi Jeremy, Thank you!
That was way too obvious for my simple mind! So the key is to make sure that the 4D Writ Pro area is focusable and the Toolbar is not. In that way, as Jeremy said, the context fro the actions will be on the 4D Write Pro area. Now I will have to reread the 4D Write Pro docs as I suspect I would have read that!
