Hi there, Thanks for the info. I actually emailed him the link to the site but I need to email him back and make sure he selects his correct OS, I had asked him before what he used. I think ME or 2000 but would have to look back at notes. I dont know how much RAM he has, I have 512 and am using v. 6. I can maybe send you my .pdf document to put into rtf format as I have sent him rtf files before I believe. He is a write and says he has adobe acrobat on a CD they sent him to read his book or something like that so I asked him if he installed it to his computer. I am not sure how he uses it yet. He may have a full version on the CD and I dont now it, not sure if his book publishers sent it to him or what. I would like to know for myself a free program that can change my pdf files to rtf or doc, I could save it as txt but that changed the appearance so much. I guess though my photos in my pdf file and my map diagrams wont show up as rtf would they?
