Dan, did you upload Chapter 3 again so that I can work on the Forms section? I can't find it in the Review List and am not sure where else to look. I thought it would be good to work on the copy that you already did the Find and Replace on. If I don't hear from you before I'm ready to work, I'll just do my edits on the copy on my computer. I want to make sure I don't break the protocol and put multiple drafts in the cycle :)
