James: It's amazing, I know all about interacting, but, sometimes, I forget that it's something you should try before putting out emails, hmmmmm! I did interact with the text and turned on wrap to window, it seems to be reading much better. However, now, it's putting blank lines in strange places and in others, blank lines seem to be missing so that lines are run together.
Originally, this was an office 97 file in .doc format. I changed it to RTF because, I was thinking, they might be using a strange font or something. Anyway, other than the blank line weirdness, when interacting with the text, it does seem to read ok. Thanks for the heads up on this 1.
