Ouch!
Thanks for the info. I hope I have a better experience with the upgrade than
you predict. Dreamweaver was/is a little more than I can justify at the
moment. I will have to take my lumps with the Microsoft stuff.

I have had a lot less Microsoft trouble since I moved to XP Pro. Also, I
have been using MS Publisher 2000 for newsletters and brochures for several
years. I expect the Adobe stuff would be better, but it too, is out of my
reach.

Thanks for the heads up, I will keep plugging away!
