Thanks for all the pointers people.=20

I also heard that there is cool plugin for illustrator that does some
excellent 3d text effects (almost as good as a prof. 3d software) - any
ideas?

Ooh yeah, I hadn't noticed that! Cool! Although in three minutes of
playing around I managed to do something that kept making it give error
messages... But then it wouldn't be a proper Macromedia program without
random crashes :) (It always seems to me that, like Apple, they beta
test
by releasing a new full version and waiting to see what the paying users
say...)

Mental note: must spend a bit of time reading the manuals before I ask
for
help.

Cheerio,
Ross
