Oh and the klink came through as I was posting the response so thank you for the link too. I am off to read it now.

Thank you for this. I am already extracting from the background in Photoshop. I haven't tried posterize yet but will. I suspect it will make the tracing simpler, but since there are not many different colours in the picture (face of a gorilla was my example), I don;t think posterizing will help...

Hi, I do not own the new Illustrator but I have had the pleasure of looking at Live Trace recently. It is pretty amazing. I am getting pretty mixed results doing blacj and white traces, even though I have adjusted just about every parameter I can find, including resampling. The reason I am...

Most Excellent! Thank you...

When I select copy paste, I get an empty rectangle (my selection area or clipping path created earlier). I cannot get a paste in a new layer with content that is just what is inside the clipping path. Sorry, Lame.

Thank you both. Combo, what is Office Developer? I think the rest of the answer points to what I read about, namely compiling in VB rather than keeping in VBA. Any comments on COM add-in versus DLL (same thing in effect?) welcome.

Hello, I am new to Tek-Tips. I did do a serach and I hope I am not treading old ground too much. I have some questions on VBA passwords. There are several tools to recover lost passwords for VBA modules (I am particularly interested in Excel/VBA). For older versions, the password can be...
