	I've finally started using Canvas 2.0, and I love it.  I do a lot of 
technical drawing for my thesis work, and I could never seem to make smoothed
polygons do what I wanted, and I'm a lousy freehand artist.  Bezier curves in
and excellent drawing program are the answer to my prayers.  But I have 
a couple of question/complaints:
	Is there anyway of selecting items in multiple layers simultaneously? 
When I decide to shift the whole graphic on the page, it is a real pain to 
move each layer one at a time and then line them all up again.  It is also
a pain if you want to select all and copy to a new document.  Select all
only works in the present layer.
	More importantly, I can't seem to get any of my documents into 
Pagemaker!  At first I thought it would be easy: just copy from the Canvas
DA and paste into Pagemaker.  That didn't work. I got my half page 
graphic scrunched up in a little tiny corner, like I was viewing it at 32 
times smaller than it is supposed to be.  Then I tried saving it as PICT and
placing it into pagemaker.  Same result.  Am I missing something here?
