I often have to refer to Martin's Intersect tutorial - I have now
combined this eight page file supplement - using AW page option I find
it easier to find what I need.
I understand from previous postings that it is easier to perform these
operations in Xara (Intersect stages are automated) but addition and
subtraction can be done reasonably quickly in AW once the user becomes
familiar with the Intersect process.
