Hadn't thought of the multiple instance angle...good point. My clients have opted for the Cut/Paste (yes, groan all at once) because even the fast option of saving as TIFF and importing slows down a doc with 300 or more captures. They had more difficulty managing file names than managing files referenced in multiple locations.
Along those lines, another client refuses to import native .ai files and instead uses EPS because of the .5 second delay in preview. The little things count when multipled out hundreds of times! -Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training, Inc.

The graphics file on disk isn't "redundant" because it's the only instance that exists. The docs contain only a link to that file, not the graphic itself. Then, when the screen changes, I just replace the graphics file, and the doc is automatically updated. If the same screen shot appears in several places, I don't have to remember them all -- just replace the one file that's referenced in each place. Richard ------ Richard G.
