    Just an update: I tried the rtf import from LibreOffice, and it works much better. Thanks!

        I find it SO MUCH easier to just build lists in LayOut using an array of Text Boxes!

          Great drawing Richard! How did you do the drop shadows on trees and arrows?

            Thanks mate, to add the shadows I dragged the PDF from LayOut into Indesign!

              Richard, I really like that look. Excellent job.

              I don't know InDesign very well. How hard is it to create those shadows from the PDF?

                Dave, so simple!!!! Indesign is really intuitive.

                Export PDF from layout with layers enabled > in Indesign drag the PDF onto a page the same size as the original > turned off all tree layers for the flat background > copy the PDF > paste in place > turned off all the background layers > turn on tree level 1 > add drop shadow > copy PDF > paste in place > turn off tree level 1 > turn on tree level 2 > repeat from level 3. > Export PDF.

                If I make any changes to the Layout plan, I just re-export the base PDF and refresh the link in Indesign.

                  Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Are the circles created in LO or in SU?

                    Beautiful drawing, Richard. I hope to be able to get to that point someday!

                      Everything is from LO other than the shadows Dave!

                        That looks great...

                        Couldn't you create the drop shadows in LO? Copy all the arrows to the side, shift them all, then force them behind the arrows, shade in a transparent color? Or use layers?

                        I know that they aren't as pretty and fuzzy, but with layers its pretty easy.

                          For sure mate, I tried this in the past with floor plans - though the hard shadow is a bit harsh, plus it doesn't represent so well as the shadow cant be set as multiply like you can in photoshop or indesign. So in the end it all ends up a bit flat!
