Thanks, that really seems to help! One question, though: I can't seem to create aliases, even now. Things go much better - I can see the different fields and the only unlabeled controls are the color button to assign to the label - but nothing happens when I click OK. The first alias I tried went away, and the name field was empty (that is the field where you enter the alias address). The second attempt, with a new alias, still has that alias in the field, but again, nothing happens. I don't see any error messages, warnings, or a message saying that it worked. Any clue what's going on? Thanks again for the interacting tip, that seems to make all the difference.
