[Qgis-user] Problem saving an image w/annotated notes?

[Mike Keelan]

This program is amazingly complex.  As a a new beginner with this SW I 
have not figured out how to get my project into the print composer.  
Even the support instructions look like they are written for a rocket 
scientist.  I can appreciate the flexibility that is apparent, but it is 
a steep learning curve.

So, do I have to rebuild the entire project in the composer, or is there 
a way to make an import into a new composure as a single operation?

Still learning,  Mike K
