Thanks. I unintentionally made it sound like I figured it out on my own, when in fact, your tip RE the “none” alignment was the nudge I needed to figure the rest out. I had a feeling it would be something simple, but am not familiar enough with the language to know what would work or not.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your help!

It almost did what I needed it to do. I did figure it out though. Here’s what I used:

1. Try to hatch the entire thing (ignoring islands) by selecting the entire object.
2. If that works, select the hatch and zoom in to an area where you want to add an island.
3. Under the ‘Hatch Editor’ tab, in the ‘Boundaries’ group, click the ‘Select’ button.

<ol start=”4″>

• Then, select a boundary that is not being used for an island and hit return. My screen looks like this:

<ol start=”5″>

• I selected the yellow polyline in the middle since it doesn’t seem to be working when I created the hatch. After hitting return, the result looks like this: />

Thanks for the input. Not having any familiarity with CSS, and the fact that there are dozens of CSS/PHP files in the blog directories, I have no idea what to modify, or where.

I’m sure the theme is fixed-width, since it is one of the pre-constructed, multi-column themes available in the WordPress store (free area, not paid). As far as placing them in the background, I need to be able to show screen captures at each step at times, so showing them in the background isn’t really going to solve the issue.

Fortunately I don’t have any readers yet… ??
