He is a Luddite - er make that satisfied with what e go and while it werks e aint changing. Not sure of his OS but Acrobat 3 he has and it is quite common still. I have a local Macnut who has gone to ground - I only found recently the reason and it probably means he is not available to help but he would - at a price. Thanks for the info.
If I was working I would just pay the money, but this is more cerebrally engaging.
