Copy the plot you want to edit, using copy in the edit menu. In the edit menu you should find a command called "Convert clipboard" or something like that. A dialog will appear, where you can choose format of the copied item. You can in that dialog choose to convert the plot to an Illustrator format, which can be edited in Illustrator. A convenient thing is that you can save the copied item in a file instead of on the clipboard. Now you can open the file through Illustrator. This is it. I hope you find this helpful. -- Nisse --------------------------------------- Nils Kajrup Occupation: Oceanographer Address: Karl Johansgatan 5 S-414 59 Gothenbourg Sweden Phone: +46 (0)31 7752940 E-mail: nils.kajrup at mailbox.swipnet.se ---------------------------------------
