I find creating a new color no big problem once I close the current document and get to edit-> colors. You select a color at random and then click on "Add". A screen appears where you can create and name a new cmyk color. Of course you need to know what cmyk means. The Galaxy Gauge Color Map Pro gives you a nice set of choices, including several rich blacks. It would be nice if one could edit colors/palettes with a document active. It would be nice if "Add" were active even though you haven't clicked on a color at random. It would be nice if the default color palette were a big one like Scribus Office. That would reduce a lot of traffic on this list. -- John Culleton, typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
