I guess you mean "New page" though? As I visualise your suggestion, look at GIMP's new image dialog, perhaps with its "Template" option selecting the different title blocks.

That would defeat the point of it being locked... that it doesn't interfere with being able to select objects within it. > John > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > geda-user@moria.seul.org > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
