One thing (among many) about Power Windows that really yanks my chain is that there's no way to line up a column of things. I either have to squint and try to resolve individual pixels by eye or enter the x,y coordinates by hand. Both methods are unacceptable, especially when you need to go back and add a new item in the middle. IMHO, a composition tool like this is nearly useless unless it has one of: - snap to a grid (like DPaint) - snap to the edge of another object - a "Line Up" menu item which aligns all selected objects neatly Please consider supporting something like this, if it's not already in there. --- Ed Hanway Eastman Kodak Company ...!rochester!kodak!elmgate!jeh #include jeh@elmgate.UUCP
