Hi Nigel

Yes, those are the same instructions Tonia sent. I don't see any new, 
previously hidden text anywhere. Where do you and all the others see 
this? After the text's last words "our children's lives."?

This is very strange and very interesting. Hidden text and other 
information is mysterious enough (and a good example of Microsoft's 
typical disregard of the rights and privacy of its private and corporate 
customers) without my program being unable to make it visible. Maybe i'm 
just being really dense, but i did try to do it several times exactly 
according to Tonia's and your directions.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
