Although the Application is stable now I am finding that from actually using the program running animations etc, and editing text does not actually produce anything on display. I believe these two errors: err:enhmetafile:EMF_Update_MF_Xform World transform failed! fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_get_hPal unimplemented for type 3. Returning 0 palette. Are the likely causes. Any hints on how I can stop this error? Many thanks again.
