Ken and all PPT participants….. About command entry….All us seasoned vets of the screen menu only AutoCAD did develop some grest dexterity at typing commands (how many people can erase last with their eyes closed <g>). But those programmers have since release 9 tried to perfect the pull down menus and I think IMHO that they have it in really good shape for a begining user… Heck I will try to not even mention the command name unless it is really important… So for me Its the pull downs and the dialogue boxes as much as possible… (standard windows interface for all applications… wordperfect still haven't deveolped a tablet menu <big grin> sorry I couldn't resist) About reducing the size of the flic to 320×200… I think this will totally ruin the AutoCAD screens. Try either going to 1024×768 in windows and remember the ALT-TAB hot key to toggle between applications this should be as easy as taking your eyes off a computer screen to look at a sheet of paper. I did look into GI to do the presentation.. an did a few tests.. after 3 frames of images and text I had a file size of 900K.. Didn't seem to be going too well and I had a project to get out soooo…. And I don't know powerpoint But I hear its easy to learn…. Roger C@V
