It's in the inset but not in the dialog. (Coding up dialogs is a PITA.) Actually, what you said is that having a single inset that was able to handle any 'external' data (ie InsetExternal) would result in a UI something like that of PowerPoint where a single dialog controls the input of many, conceptually different, 'external's. Or something like that. John's suggestion was to have the Graphics dialog also connected to ControlExternal. Ie, two dialogs resulting in the input/manipulation of a single Inset. I can see the argument for, but I can also see the argument against. I also think that this is a second step. -- Angus
