OK, now another stupid question.... When I go to delete nodes, the entire image is deleted. How do you isolate what you want to delete without losing the whole thing?

NEVER MIND. Found the toolbar

Jancy, thank you! For your step-by-step instructions I welded my name and then made a shadow for it.

For some reason CTRL + ) doesn't work for me - but ALT + ) does!

I know all keyboards are different so I'm guessing this is why CTRL doesn't work for me.

I could really use some help... I am making my first word book, the Baby one on here, however I can't seem to make a mat for the letters. I follow the directions above but when I cut it it doesn't do it the way it shows...

I have put together a master list of video tutorials at
http://www.furl.net/member/cricupediaTV

Sort by Inkscape and you will find a bunch of video tutorials. The one on mats is called "Funkified" text. The one on Boolean operations is also very helpful with respect to welding. Funny names, excellent tutorials.
