Surprising what you can load with Office 2000 once you install a 38 meg compatibility pack.  :bg

Attachment converted it to PDF so if you have a recent PDF reader, it displays fine.

Dave,

This one is about 250k and contains exactly what the word document contained, its just a bit cleaner in its format. Converted it with Acrobat.

i compared the two, Hutch - i like yours a lot better for the size
the text in mine is a little sharper if you zoom in on it (really big - lol) and i notice colors in the table of contents
but, for the difference in size, yours is by far the best
mine is a 1 Mb zip - unzips to almost 2 Mb - lol
they are the same document
i used one of the web-based converters to make it
btw - i can open yours just fine with acrobat v 7
