Converting a Composition Zones item to a picture
To create an external picture file from a Composition Zones item, choose Item >

displays in the Composition Zones pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). But
when you choose Item > Composition Zones > Convert to Picture, an alert indicates
that the Composition Zones item will become unsynchronized. The resulting picture
displays in the Picture pane of the Usage dialog box. However, the composition layout
