Well, thanks for that help. Now I can stop banging my head against the wall. As a new user of AD, I was unaware that the failure was a 'bug' and not some complication that I did not yet fully appreciate (locked object; pixel persona vs design persona, raster vs vector.....etc). I am also not a designer!!! So always suspect my ignorance before I suspect a bug!!! So THANKS for the heads up. Was hoping for more from Designer. Maybe I need Illustrator, but don't want to pay my good hard-earned money to Adobe for a program I use rarely. hmmnnnn....
