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.

I just got volume II and will scan it within the next couple of days. 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?
