I got as far as checking the file gets loaded, but got lost trying to work out what displayed them.
I can't find a way of turning them on either. Either (1) There is some other switch as well as the common names radio button needed to turn them on or (2) you have found a bug. ps I presume you are using version 3 of some kind - they are there by default in version 2 pps I can't imagine why you want them - I would always prefer Alpha Gemini to Castor - but each to his own preference. cheers, John Sunderland
