Re: Anchor inhibits style change
I insert an Anchor at the very start of a new paragraph. Hi Dean, I think there is a rule somewhere which says that an anchor should always be in a paragraph by itself, immediately above the paragraph to which you want to link. Puzzle of the day -- why is it called an "anchor" instead of ...

Re: Search by date?
Is there a way to search for topics by date of posting? Hi Dean, Have you tried reading the forums via the RSS feed? Your feed reader will sort messages by date or category (forum), and show you which ones you have read. You can also have a popup message on your screen when new messages are posted,...

PS: You can also achieve much better batch processing results in Paint Shop Pro, also for more complex images. Hi Tim, Thanks for that. You obviously have a later version of PSP than my PSP 5 which came free originally! PSP 5 doesn't have a script recording function, so the batch options in Any Ima...

When it doesn't work you have to use a graphics program with a good interactive color reduction function like Paint Shop Pro (highly recommended, nearly as good as Photoshop and only costs about $75). Hi Tim, Dean, How about $39.95 ? I have been trying Any Image from Swedish developer FMJ-Software:...

Re: Purchased upgrade not working
I bought the H&M Standard version 4 upgrade online, but when I ran the setup program, the splash screen says that I have a 14-day evaluation copy of H&M Professional edition. Am I supposed to do something to activate my serial number and security code? Thanks in advance for your guidance. K...

I'm not sure about the internals of PDF graphics either. AFAIK it uses lossless compression on the bitmaps and can also apply additional JPEG compression if you want. Hi Tim, That seems to be right.
