In Pagestream 2.1, I am having problems setting tabs in Pagestream. When I try to click the mouse which is pointed in the tab bar, there is no response. The dots in the tab bar don't appear or disappear? Luciano 73246,1744 via Whap! V1.9F

Luciano; You are in the 'text' mode, yes? If the object mode (or any other) is selected then clicking in the TAB bar will have no effect on tabs. Note also, that it is the place where the horizontal an vertical parts of the cursor cross that is the 'hot spot.' Also, if you have layed a transparent object over the top of the tab bar then it will appear that you can not change the tabs (this is one that I relate from experience). In that case, go to the object mode, select the text box, hit a right amiga-f, go back to the text mode and you should be able to change tabs. -bill – via Whap!

Concerning tab settings in Pagestream, "Note also, that it is the place where the horizontal an vertical parts of the cursor cross that is the 'hot spot.'" Bill thanks a lot! I was aiming the bottom of the text cursor rather than the above mentioned spot. Luciano 73246,1744 (From Toronto) via Whap! V1.9F -> *** GO BLUE JAYS GO!!! *** <-

Luciano; Great! Remember the 'overlaping objects' problem too. I almost can't count the number of times that it has baffled me…. though now I am pretty quick to spot the problem. -bill – via Whap!
