Okay, thanks Andreas. I appreciate your advice. It sounds like the reporting mode does not replace the atlas, is that correct? So maybe the atlas feature in both versions is the same? I don't know if I need the reporting mode for multi-page maps.
And regarding the versions, not sure why one would have old and new running in parallel, especially if they are not backwards compatible. The new plug-ins for version 3, are there many of them or is that a slow transition? Overall, I have found version 2 plugins to be disappointing, although there have been some exceptions. With many, it is not clear what they are going to do or how to use them. I find I am returning to Manifold GIS more and more to accomplish certain things reliably. Thanks again Andreas...
