Hey, thanks!! I have looked at both you recommendations and they appear 
to be right on!! Unfortunately,
I'm not sure that I am up to doing the manual removal of reader 8, but 
am going to study it and give it serious consideration. I don't want to 
get into something that going to cause me more problems than I already have.

The Foxit reader looks great, and apparently has lots of followers, and 
I'm going to give it a shot. I used Adobe Reader with several of the 
Avery software programs (like printing business cards etc. and am 
wondering if I can make Foxit work with Avery. Hmmm.

Anyway, thanks again for the response!!

Big John
