My apologies to everyone; The file I sent was never designed for e-mail, it was a handout for presentations where I could be showing slides and explaining. It was just meant as a summary so that people would have all the names. I had to substitute it for a file that I had prepared for this when mary Sue asked me. That file somehow has dissappeared. Since it takes me a week to redo these things I obviously do not have time to redo it and send it for this weeks discusion. At the moment I am rushing to get a Median Iris Checklist through the printer and to The American Iris Society Convention. This 280 page book has required a lot of last minute adjustments and publication problems and I can't really do much until this is on its way to Fresno.

He thought that the problem was that the original document was saved in a newer version of Word and people who do not have that version might have trouble opening it. Perhaps the person who it was tested on has the same version of Word. One of the things I find most irritating about Microsoft products is that often new versions are not compatible with old ones so you have to purchase new software all the time even when what you have works fine for your purposes. People who have Macs often don't have Word. It appears that the other problem with the document and this is true of Mark's redo too is with all that formatting it becomes a rather large file and for some people this makes getting it impossible. So for those of you who could not get the original and want more of the original formatting you can try Mark's version: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Mary Sue _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
