I don't quite follow. How is your link a solution to the Word question?

BTW, I had plowed thru all sorts of Layers tutorials similar to the above, and still had failed to get it.
Sorta like prior to Helen Keller's "water" epiphany.
I actually spent many weeks trying to get it.
I've always been like that. A slow study re: new concepts.
So my tutorial, however crude the pics, addresses that.
