Hi Mary,

I've had that problem a few times.  It seems to depend on the font used 
and the quality of the print.  I can usually figure it out, but if it's 
something critical such as a prescription number, I try to check it some 
other way just to be sure.
I also sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between 8 and 9 too.
Sometimes it seems the longer I work at it, the harder the differences 
are to distinguish, but I suspect that's plain old operator problem.  <grin>

Don
