Ar ha.
Fortunatly Chinese is my second language - so why didn't I think of the
characters?? [embarresment]
I switched to Chinese Mode, and there it was ��ѡ�� 000000 . In Chinese -
Qing xuanze - "Please select 000000"
In itself somewhat meaningless. Like saying "Please call extention 000000"
Which it's not by the way. It is actually saying "Please select 000000"
So - :-)
Maybe someone better tell Adobe?
Pity I didn't copy the first screen. When I first looked, it had all Chinese
phone numbers, and addresses in Xiamen, a Special Economic Zone.
Now at least it's back to US numbers - or is that Canada. no, US. 1-408- is
US I think.
Whatever - it's a bit unsettling to know that anyone and everyone can make
those sort of changes - apparently?
