I'd like to thank everyone for their responses to my problem! :)

Mike and MDC, I think I will try your approaches first. I don't know
why I didn't think of using Anything Grooves [ but perhaps its because
I just got it in and have only used it twice so far.  :) ].

Unfortunately, I have almost burnt my dinner rushing around and have
bearly enough time to print out the logo designs modifications that I
do have rendered.  I have to rush out of the door to the meeting in a
few minutes but I can at least inform them of more to come when I get
there.

Thanks again to everyone...you guys (and gals) are great! :) I'll let
you know how everything goes.

Cheers.
