Hi there folks, I merges 3 stacks which were identical, except for the graphics on each card. It seems that the backgrounds from stacks 2 and 3 came with the cards, now when I want to modify the background, I must modify all three... Is it possible to delete 2 of the three backgrounds??? many thanks, Mark Sartor, 221 Ag Hall, MSU, E. Lansing Mi. 48823, 517-332-3609

If You delete a background, you also delete the associated cards; if you paste a card, you paste it's background unless the stack already has that background. If your stack has a lot of cards, it seems you should write a script that goes to each card; if it's background is the undesired one, you shuttle back and forth between that card and a new card on the wanted background copying and pasting the graphics and whatever else needs to be moved. It will be slow. A similar alternative is shuttling back and forth between the old separate stacks and the new stack, copying and pasting graphics. Dan Dlugose UNC Educational Computing Service
