Thanks for the heads up Garry. That all makes sense I think. Just a couple of questions. The list of colours in my document appear under the heading 'greys', whereas they are clearly not. When I click on 'colours' as the heading they all appear as HSL rather than CMYK. Who uses HSL?? Also I am on a Mac so no right or left click, we use control click. Having to do this is not particularly user friendly but now I know, it does make things easier.
Thanks again for your help Garry, I will persist, as I love everything else about Publisher and would recommend it to any Quark user (no matter how old!) if you are getting fed up with the way that you are being treated by the big Q!
