I did try it. But my K1000 is set up to just open Word files as they are,
not recognise them, and I get problems when I try to recognise them from
file. So I printed it and scanned it, so I did get to read the document.
But I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to the cause of the
problem, and as you suggested it could have been a scanned image. I'll ask
her if it was scanned, but I don't think so.
Thanks,
Catherine
