In a newsletter for print, I am selecting an Oval, going to fill effects
menu, choosing gradient, choose two colors and there is where the
transparency sliders are grayed-out, or just move, but return back without
doing anything (the % boxes don't work at all).

What are you filling? I can't duplicate this issue. Even if I select a bitmap
the sliders work, of course nothing happens.

I want to soften gradient fills by using the transparency sliders, but they
are not active.
