Yeah - I just found out about the Save As trick from another list. In
Acrobat 9, which is what I'm using, it doesn't render much better than Word
Perfect (both have formatting issues, but they're different).  But I also
just learned from another post that Acrobat X does the job beautifully.

Re: Digital Asset Management, Yeah, I have a lot of ground to (re)cover and
post on, especially before I lose my audience of one! ;-) At least it's back
on the (current) project list. :-)

Thanks,
Carol
