Thanks Larry. Recently (for values of recent ranging from 6 months to 18 months) Blurb added a button that allows for editing their page layouts. The editing is very straightforward and the resulting page layout can be saved and reused in that book and/or in later books. In fact this was my major issue with the pre-release first version of LR-4 - i.e., the only way to change or add page layouts was to go off into the print module, create something, export it, then re-import it into Book module. Which is why I haven't upgraded to LR-4 yet. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
