Bob:
I have Acrobat reader both at home and at work. No problem. However, I
do not know how to convert a WordPerfect or MsWord document to PDF. Nor
how to create a document in PDF or convert such document to html. (Neither
WordPerfect nor MsWord give this as "Save as" option) I find that
WordPerfect works better for html than MSWord, also Composer in Netscape.
MsOffice2000 has the rather elaborate "FrontPage" program for html, which I
have not used.
Should we continue to submit to you documents (such as my Printers' RI
examples) in MsWord, WordPerfect, or what? I am a bit reluctant, as I'm
sure others are, to learn still another program for submitting items for
the RBMS BSC web page
