Hi Girvin,

you have sent me a private mail, therefore I answer private too. But that is not good. Please use the mailing list next time.

Yep! My bad. I reflexively used "Reply" instead of "Reply All" and didn't realize it until I already sent the reply. The new list configuration is aggravating. Given how many private replies I am getting since the change, I am not alone in the group. As you hint at, the real problem is deciding if the private reply was really a private reply or just a miss-click like I did with this one. It is an etiquette problem...

Thanks very much for the hint.  I didn't know Draw had layers.  I see
now what you are talking about and I can create additional layers, like
adding sheets to Calc.

Apart from using a "tab" they are totally different.

  I will try that as soon as I can get back to
it.   No matter which layer I select, the same objects are displayed in
the drawing window.  I see I can make layers invisible, but that is
about it.  Is there a way to tell which layer an object is on, other
than trying to select it layer by layer?

Please have a look at chapter 8 "Splitting drawings in multiple layers" in the Draw guide [1], and therein the section "Changing the layer of a drawing object".
I read that section of Chapter 8 last night, just to see if the guide did explain layers. There are two pages referring to layers and that is mostly taken up by figures. I will have to work with Draw to get the feel of how to apply this new layer technique.

I know the guide is not verbose, so don't hesitate to ask again, but please on the list, so that all others can learn from the answers too.

Done!
