I think You have to put it in you GSM folder then go to macros add it and I thought just pull it to the tray / tool bar. What's your outline macro do?

If I hadn't hesitated when they knocked $50 off, I'd be an owner as well. Now, I'm stalling, waiting for another shot at $149 upgrade.

Frog it is really a nice upgrade from X4 I skipped X5 and sounds like I am glad I did. I did get the 64 bit and wow is it quick. One of the greatest upgrades I have found is the scan mode or trace mode, it is awesome! Sooooo much ahead of the X4. I am still switching over the files from the other computer but I am getting closer everyday. The new smear tool is a new thing also and you can really manipalate the art a lot like in PS.

Yes the trace really is an upgrade in X6! I'm still finding new toys in there. I just have the regular outline button in the bottom right, so I can't help you with your macro.

Jason I will always need you  ;D
I am guessing what I am calling a macro may be wrong, In 4 all I had to do is get the flyout of the outline box to open and then catch a corner and drag it to the bottom of the page and it stayed there. In X6 it does not work that way not sure why but it does not. Would that be called a macro if it is just moved to the bottom of the workspace?

I am lost as to what he is referring to as well.

Maybe drag what ever it is then I believe I am working off memory you can right click and lock a tool bar in its position. But nothing will ever stay the way you want unless you first customize and then save settings as default, doing that retains the customization you did and implements them for every document you open.

Word of advice never open some one else's Corel file always always import them.
