Thanks John...  But I am still having trouble with one layer where I did 

create a guided layer correctly.  The symbols attach to the end and the 

beginning of the curved line, but will not follow it. They migrate in the 

tween on a direct path to each other...


And I cannot draw anything on the guided layer even though it is 

unlocked... I draw a line, but it disappears as soon as I let go of the 

pen.  It shows not the pencil cursor but circle and hairlines...


Any ideas?

Jeff
