Hello Emma,
Thanks very much for your suggestions.
Pondering your workflow suggestions, are you suggesting that I create a
new project in a new version of QGIS by dragging the old project into a
empty project in the new version? Do I have that right? The .qpt file
is a print template?
It sounds workable but time-consuming. As it is, I'm up half the night
just trying to get some of this work done. I may give it a try but am
leery of investing more time in "run the Atlas and see if it works."
I do appreciate your help and will probably give it a try, all fingers
crossed.
Thanks again…
--------
Cheers, Spring
