Sharon, Can you explain that better? I looked at the lock/trim tab on the lettering properties and the box that is enable is 'lock if connector greater tat 0.252' and 'trim if connector greater than 0.252'. I can see boxes with tie in type and tie off type and pull down menus next to each with styles put I'm not able to use them. I have just the Design Shop level of software, is this the problem or am I not looking in the right place? I'm going to home to bed but will look for a response in the a.m. Thanks!
