I have a tendency to agree with you but can't find anything yet. I'm assuming it has to be some sort of .doc file corruption at the moment and going to attack it that way. Have run Norton AV and AVG, Adaware, Spybot S&D, SpywareGuard, Windows Defender and have WinPatrol, NAT fw, ZA SW firewall running; all updated, nothing found. If you look back thru the posts though you'll note some plausible reasons for what's going on. I'm just trying to see for certain now; it's the principle of the thing now! -- Twayne Tired of MS Office and their shananigans?
