I have a slightly different idea. I say this out of experience as I have
employed the same procedure that Laura has. And what do I see.....RED X
MARKS. I reinserted them over four times just to find the same MARKS.
Before I really make an asserted comment...what is the size of the file
you are working on Jenn?
I am frustrated with WORD. Just planning to purchase FrameMaker. Any
suggestions?
