Hi Harold, The URL requires (quoting the site) "a 2007 Microsoft Office suite or other 2007 Microsoft Office System program installed". Unfortunately, I am not quite, ah, on charitable terms, with Mr William Gates (or his company or the policies of the company, or combinations of the above, and any others that may be imagined, not imagined, not thought of, etc etc), and therefore, prefer to use a non Microsoft platform. While I am not sure if there are others who are in the same predicament, I wonder if you could please cut and paste a synopsis from the site ? If I am asking too much, /dev/null this mail, and I'll understand. OTOH, if you do me this favour, I'll stand you a pint of the best bitter in town when I am in your neck of the woods!

The operations there enumerated, however, don't work on my machine, but many of the same results can be obtained, as I have posted previously, through the use of «Alt Gr +» or «Alt Gr + Shift +»....
