[QUOTE="mac57, post: 212546, member: 17052"] Great, thanks. After much fiddling around, I got it to work. I kept trying to click, copy and paste on the preview instead of the icon! Boy it is tough to be a rank newbie again! I have mastered every version of Windows since 1993, about 10 different flavors of Linux, and about 3 different flavors of Unix. I thought I was computer savvy! I guess not! This Mac interface is challenging me. Can you help with one more related thing? I would like most files to use the icon of the application that opens it as the default icon that Finder displays for the file. So, for example, I would like Word documents to all show up with the nice stylized blue Word icon. I can do the copy/paste thing for every file, but that will quickly become tedious. Is there a way to make this automatic? [/QUOTE]
