HI Ken, I have tried to work with this file and I am not real sure what is happening. 1. after unzipping and double clicking on the file it opens in word. 2. When I open MSO 2003 and use the open command it does not see the file. 3. I went in and changed the file association to MS word and the file opens but I am not able to see any page breaks. I am on vacation so I may not get back to the file for a day or two. Feel free to write me off list at Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ernie is the one that wanted to read and validate this I was just trying to help with getting the file strangeness straightened out.

My computer has been down for a couple of days, so I might have missed some things about volume I. Is there anything anyone wants me to do with regard to that volume? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 3:16 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: norton > Ernie, > > I'm glad you're a night owl--or should I say morning > dove. > > Kenneth said he's requested volume 2 of the same > edition and will scan it, and I have the book--though > I will probably at some point have to return it and > then borrow it again--but that's no problem. > > Keeping books in txt causes them to lose fonts like > italics and also to lose hard page breaks.
