               Claim 1 reads as follows:                                              
                    An office panelling system comprising a series of                 
               mechanically connected office panels defining an office                
               work space, each of said panels having a support frame                 
               selectively covered by releasable elements applied to                  
               opposite sides of said frame and forming part of an                    
               exterior surface of the respective panel, said panels                  
               also including insert modules defining open or light                   
               transmitting ports through said panels, each insert                    
               module having a dominant rectangular frame component and               
               a secondary rectangular frame component, said dominant                 
               rectangular frame component being releasably secured to                
               said frame and providing a finish surface to one side of               
               said frame, said secondary rectangular frame component                 
               being positioned to the opposite side of the frame and                 
               aligned with said dominant rectangular frame component                 
               and providing a finish surface on said opposite side of                
               said frame, and wherein said secondary rectangular frame               
               component is releasably secured to and supported by said               
               dominant rectangular frame component.                                  

               Claim 11 reads as follows:                                             
                    An insert module for providing a light transmitting               
               port through an office panel of an office panelling                    
               system, said insert module having a dominant component                 
               and a secondary component, said secondary component                    
               releasably engaging and being supported from said                      
               dominant component in a manner to maintain alignment of                
               said components, each component having a rectangular                   
               outer frame finish portion for defining the outer                      
               perimeter of said light transmitting port, said dominant               
               component further including a fastening arrangement for                
               engaging a frame of an office panel for supporting said                
               module therefrom.
