I checked the Life Sciences yedion this morning, when I saw the OP. There are little PDF icons next to Word icons, but some of them are disabled (no PDF version, I presume?), and others complain about fonts and refuse to render. I didn't spend too much time on it. $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) $ rpm -q mozilla acroread mozilla-0.9.9-12.7.3 acroread-505-1 Asking for HTML or PDF (where P stands for Portable) versions seems reasonable. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= "...
