Hello- yes, Thanks for answering my questions by the way-

It doesn't matter what .ctb I was trying, it still shows that it is plotting by color.

I gave up trying to make that file print.

The bigger problem is that I opened a new .dwt I have been putting together and it did the same thing, when I tried to load my .stb file (after doing a full reinstall of the program), I had to close and open the file again to get it to show up in my menu and apply to the settings on my layout so I could preview my plot style settings in layout.  It is seems to be a very pesky bug that is unpredictable at best.
