Well, feel free to email it to me at , but I think you've
already answered your own question. I don't know how Stationery files are built,
exactly, but the concept of "layers" is perhaps part of it, and whatever you
were using to view it (Internet Explorer?) only had access to the top layer when
it saved. That's *one* possibility among many. I'll be able to tell you more
after I get a chance to play with it.

Thanks Gary.

The original "Stationery" was posted to a News Group about a year ago. At
that time I saved it ("Save As") to My Documents folder and renamed the
extension from .NWS to EML so that I could E-Mail the Stationery to friends.

However, I'm not sure how I can send it to a Newsgroup, i.e. this one, so
you can examine it.

The good news is I have been able to save the Deer picture. I did this by
renaming the Stationery extension to .UUE and double-clicking the altered
icon. This separated the Stationery into four parts as icons, two texts and
three graphics (background,deer and that !!*?#!! "human".)

Nevertheless I'd still like to know why I ran into the original problem.
Thanks again for your interest.

Andy I.
