There is another advantage to linking rather than embedding. The document will open a lot quicker.

Does PP4 set a memory/file size limit

I hope you are using PPX4. not PP4. Even X4 is a little out of date, but will probably cope.

Yes, I believe there is a limit to the size of a .ppp file.
Are you embedding these photos? Try linking them instead. If they are linked, they are not included in the .ppp file, but will need to remain on the computer. I would suggest you put them all in their own folder, so that they can easily be moved to another computer with the .ppp file if necessary. You can change them from embedded to linked using Resource Manager.

will this extend beyond the limits of the larger picture

No it won't. It will look something like this quick effort, but much better if you take care.

1. Use the Cutout Studio on the larger image to remove the the person and her wheelchair, leaving a blank area.
2. Use the Cutout Studio on the other image to isolate the the person and her wheelchair.
3. Paste this onto the larger image, suitably positioned and sized. I guess it will partially obscure the legs of a couple of people there, and will cover much of the blank area.
4. Then the difficult bit! Carefully use the Clone tool to cover the rest of the blank area to complete the background.

And you want to do this in PagePlusX8? It would be a lot easier in a photo editing program such as PhotoPlus.
Can you upload the pictures so we can see what you are up against?

Hello Hello ! is there anybody there ?

I'm here too, Gordon. I always enjoy your movies, even though I don't often comment.

So movement seems to work with Images inside a Frame, but does not with a text frame inside.

Actually it works with images or text frame but only if they are anchored within the larger frame. It's just that images may be automatically anchored while a second frame must be manually anchored.

Check out Anchors in Help.

Can't you just Group them? Select them and click the jigsaw icon at bottom right, or use the Arrange menu.

There are two types of text in PagePlus. Artistic text, which you can add by clicking the Artistic text tool on the left toolbar, marked with an "A", or frame text.

Artistic  text will resize when you adjust the handles surrounding it. It will not wrap automatically.

Frame text, which you add using the Standard Text Frame tool on the left tool bar, does not behave like this. Changing the size of the frame will not affect the size of the text. There are tools on the context toolbar, at the top, to resize the text, or the Fit Text option there will adjust the size of the text to fit the frame. Text will automatically wrap to the next line.

I've just come across this absolutely hilarious BBC video of a few years ago. I can't think why it was banned. I am a rugby fan, having been introduced to the game as teenager, after I left school, when I worked in Bristol. About half the team I played for were Welsh, for whom, of course, Rugby is almost a religion. I am English, and I suppose it would be England I would support in any International. But I really don't think any England fan would be the least offended by this video. It's also obvious that there is zero malice intended by the various national supporters featured. Indeed I don't think any true rugby fan cares overmuch who wins (so long as it's not ......) provided it's a good game. There's always next year!

Supporters of what other sport would find such a video so funny?

Agreed. I'm not sure what Bookworm is trying to do. Why a Calendar instead of a basic Table? Do you mean Cell rather than Box?

If it works in Excel, why not work in that and transfer the resulting Calendar/Table into PagePlus with Copy/Paste?

the primary stress should be on the first syllable

And, according to my dictionary, the "o" should be long as in "mope", not short as in "got" (or "myopic"). Although I have always pronounce it with a short "o", but with more stress on the "bi" than on the "my".

His last visit was more than a year ago now, a little over three weeks after he posted.

Alfred,

Are you able to contact him by email, and apologise for his being inadvertently ignored?

I seem to have missed this query from Robert. Maybe he doesn't come here any more since failing to get a reply.

I wonder if what he wants could be achieved by using the Slope setting in the Character tab, instead of using Warp?

that little island south of Portsmouth

Well I know you are on the somewhat larger island north of Portsmouth, which itself is mainly on the tiny island of Portsea!

Hi Sandy,

Are you still on that little island south of Portsmouth?

GB .. are you saying that "Just after Midnight on Monday" is actually Tuesday?

Yes. That is the usual understanding, isn't it? By way of explanation: If one has been invited to stay at a friends house for Monday night, then the midnight that occurs while you are there would surely be Monday midnight not Tuesday midnight. And you would be there from Monday evening to Tuesday morning.

I never said you did.

But you did say

Midnight on Monday.

which is the same thing, and just as ambiguous.

"Midnight Monday" in your instructions is a little ambiguous. From the line

And Monday's worries are yet to unfold

Bing seems to have considered it to be the midnight when Monday starts, which I think would normally be called "Midnight Sunday".
