Following Tim Sutton's email, I am adding a little more descriptin of what has been happening. Separately i will share the actual shape files. Attaching both into one message went over the size limit.
I was not sure if attachments would be ok or not. Upon Tim Sutton's suggestion, I am attaching the actual data files and clarifying my situation further, below. In the mac, in the composer where I start setting grid parameters, 1. i select to display grid, 2. then the grid type (i select crosses) -- actually i am trying to get only tics on the edges with nothing on the map (crosses or full lines), but of the options available, crosses are my choice 3. then i come to "Interval X" and enter a value, say 2 or 3 4. next, I come to "Interval Y" and enter the same value 5. and then the system hangs; often i can't even enter the Y value because the system hangs as soon as i put the cursor in the field. 6. i tried doing things in different order after selecting 'grid' -- thinking it may be some kind of quirk in my installation that i can work around. invariably, the 2nd or 3rd step after selecting 'grid' causes the machine to hang. In the PC, i had already tried right-clicking on the blank space to get back the item properties box, but it hadn't worked. Hence my question in the posting. Thanks. CSB
