Why don't you email it to me at Anne@ (and then the website right below my name, not the www. part, tho). When you email it, include everything you want to change on the document, and I will change it, and send it back to you as a PDF file, which you *should* be able to open. ************ Hope it helps!

I downloaded it and made extensive corrections to it. I saved the corrections as an .rtf file then went to send them back to the author and couldn't find the file. I reaccessed it from my work bar at the bottom of the screen - I was working on it in Word - and resaved it as a word document. Now I can't find either file to reattach and send. The files were saved in a folder called kb2rock5 underLocal Disk c:, Documents and Seeings, User, Local Settings, Temporary Internet, Conlum.IES (sorry I can't read my writing), but I can't get past User to Local Settings when I search that way.

The folder you desribed is a TEMP folder and is likely gone. In the future, when somebody sends you an email attachment of a file you intend to keep or work on? Save it to a local folder, do NOT open it from your email software. Then go to the local folder and open with the software that is compatible. |
