Hi Jeff,
I really figured what I was telling you was old news.
I am new to DS (I have used other digitizing programs)
and have the 6.08.522 version. I've been using it
since Sept and I didn't catch it. My husband might
have caught it for one of two reasons: 1)He was using
DS and had no idea what he could do or 2) he is a
software engineer. Anyways, its not a huge problem.
Just a minor detail that probably should be adjusted.
He will be tickled that he caught it when others
didn't.
