Jeanne, Geoff, Thanks for the clarification, and yes, the "place background onto this card" worked. I'm curious, though, why the group doesn't show up in the Object|Place Group menu... aren't all groups that are a part of a stack and not placed on the current card supposed to show up there, background or other? Or am I misunderstanding? Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
