Hello,
New user of freehand here. I'm currently going though the Adobe FreeHand
Brochure Creation tutorial and am trying to "Paste In" a bevel path to an
extruded object. However, when I open the bevel path and copy it to the
clipboard and then click back to press the "Paste In" button below the path
window in the Bevel Properties panel, the "Paste In" button is dimmed out and
unavailable to my mouse as a choice. Is there something I could be doing
wrong? I think I've followed all the instructions correctly, but it's probably
something simple. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are copying an open path. Select the path and look in the
object inspector. The 'closed' box should not be checked.

I like to build a bevel profile above a horizontal guide, so that start and
endpoints of the path fall on the guide.

Another thought.

You must have the extruded object selected with the Extrude tool in order to
apply a bevel to the extrusion.
