Hi Jean-Francois,

Ok. I haven't used Draw very much at all. F2 was the key. Interesting that if
I use the Fontworks Gallery in Writer then the Fontwork functions will let me
modify that to my hearts content. The only thing I can't do is to enter the
free form line and get text to associate with it.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Your help is much appreciated.

Cliff
