Thanks so much Rich. I think the biggest part is me getting used to GIMP and
stopping myself while using the text tool to be very careful about hitting
shortcut keys like Z for zoom and find that I have a Z in my text. In fact I
should simply use the mouse to hit the zoom tool or I can program a shortcut
like you suggested if it keeps coming up, Have a great Easter!
