The whole thing is not that much of a deal, but then, you know me, I  
can't understand why it won't open as a pdf under the help user guide 
menu. I even open it from the library link you suggested in the 
application --- etc.  I will not be home this afternoon, will labor in 
the fields again tonight or tomorrow.  Thanks for all your dedication 
to ancient Marta's causes or stubbornness. - Mactown installed iWork 
when I got my new iBook, and I really haven't gotten around checking  
all the preferences .
