Hi Sarah, Glad you mentioned Vienna, have downloaded it and it looks just the kind of thing I was after. One question - I was looking in the preferences and don't seem to be able to activate any of the buttons other than "general" in the toolbar for the preferences. Have you tried this? Are you able to get to all of the preferences?
