Thanks once again Stephen - yes the link works fine and adds some good detail to my intuitive experiments.....but as you say it seems quicker elsewhere for all but the simplest ops.

From that link I now have the 'advanced search' bookmarked and this unlocks a huge library of previous Q&A and I think allows new questions

Maybe in 1.4 we will have a stamp tool & if I ask enough questions about print layout, a better print layout dialogue
