We are both still RO users Clive, and probably will 'til the day we kick
the bucket, but we are also long time MS-Win users.

Unfortunately OakDraw is not very good, I have something somewhat better
called "AspexDraw" (Not freeware though) when I require it.
Though that's not a problem as the OvPro material is only being copied to
a Word document, the originals remain as they were.
Thanks for your thoughts, but the graphic export out of Win OvPro, then
into Win-DPScan works very well.
The only fly in the ointment for me, is the lack of global clipboard
support.
