Hi both,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will download the latest version of the
reader and see what happens with that. That is - if I can find the
download, which at the moment I can't. I went to www.adobe.com and
clicked on downloads and can't see where to go from there. Can anyone
tell me where to go after that?
