Valerie,

  But here the need is explicit to everyone, it is not just me.  If we are to have overlapping hands, the hands need to be white, you can't show overlapping hands without it.  That is a global need, not a ME only need.

  And if you are to transfer to everyone's computer, not just MACs, then it needs to be a standard that everyone can use without customizing everything.  That's the point of a standard.

  Charles -
The reason the Customize Button is so wonderful is that you can 
customize everything to your needs!

Steve and I have worked very very hard to give you great Customize 
features...so the world is yours...you can re-format things to your 
heart's content...

Whatever your preference, you have...

So have you used the Customize feature yet?

Val ;-)
