I was quickly grabbing a few LDR files of christmas related things for my kids

Is there anything that does colour hints (ie fly outs from the bricks with a
letter for the colour or something??
OR is there something I am missing??

I am not aware of any current application that will do callouts with a letter
for the color. I think you are the first person I read/see/hear that has

Does anyone have an application in the works that can do the above?
Michael, how are you printing the images of the instructions? From the output
via MLCad? Perhaps you could save the files to a CD or disk and go to kinkos
for color printouts. Might be a bit pricey but you can use the cheapest color
prinout option they have. Or how about just leaving the files on the PC and
having them view the instructions from there. Yes, I know not the best
solution.
Larry P or Steve B. you boys have probably the most experience with printing out
instructions. Your thoughts on the matter?
