Dear Tom, It wasn't a personal attack! LOL. That last snipey little paragraph was added after months (yes months) of frustrating attempts to get Acrobat 5 to work. I DO have Adobe's Font Manager (pre-installed with the software bundle that came with the computer -- with the Adobe Photoshop group) but DUH! dummy that I am, since there was no support documentation with this new system, I didn't know how to use it to solve the problem. All I knew was that everything else worked except the Reader and that I had been playing around with that for way too long. Also, when I wanted to locate and download Version 4, I searched this site first and only had two 'hits' returned, and they were for updates/patches. I wasn't certain if they would include the original program. But I DO want to thank you for all your help. I wouldn't take your job for all the money in the world! I've worked in computer-support and I know how difficult it is to diagnose problems remotely, especially when the end-users may not always be on the same 'wavelength' (duh -- where's the 'Enter' key?). LOL. I just remember that EVERYONE is a new user of something or the other at one point, and that a sense of humor helps tremendously. I will now attempt to master the Adobe Type Manager program and, if I can learn to manipulate the data quickly enough and upgrade to Version 5 successfully, I will let you know whatever solution was found. Again, thank you for your help. Sincerely, Jean
