Thanks, Tuna. I have already created an image (jpg rather than png but I could convert it); but I don't know what graphics editor would be practical and efficient for filling in a letter-length text block. Gimp seems very cumbersome to me. Are there other simpler options? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
