Can you say more about how you do it? I have MS Word, have done some work with pics in Word, but not this yet.

Do you paste the two images on top of each other?? Set one pic as some % transparent so you can see through it?? Then trace the template with the mouse? That part seems tricky but you seem to get a nice smooth curve.

If more of us can learn how it's done that's better than a small number of people drawing up templates for everyone here, imho.

Thanks!
