Dear Jean I hope to finish Chapter 6 in the next few days and will post it as soon as possible. Progress was a bit impeded as my wife 'stole' my laptop for some days so my morning and evening 'train editing' was curtailed.
For Peter: Images on top row of Figure 3 top left image - produce it by clicking on the basic shape submenu (Draw toolbar) and not the rectangle icon. Select any shape and draw it on canvas. When selected and resizing, the status bar shows only "Resize shape". top right image -This is quite different to what you see if you draw a shape with one of the other toolbar icons, when indeed it shows up as Resize Rectangle% y=40%) or whatever. Is that sort of what you were asking? Let me know if you need more enlightenment, there is a special on it this month... :=) kind regards Martin On Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:57:01 +1000 Jean Hollis Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Martin, > Sorry to hear the Draw Guide translations won't be done by the > end of this month, but I quite understand about being too busy > with other things.
