What do you think? I will do this tomorrow then, if I can solve my printing problems too (we had a Novell server problem today, compound with my A4/8˝x10 problem and the bad symbol due to the lack of fonts!) But in fact sending you a RTF file would not be a problem for me, Word can directly generate RTF files... it would be on your side to cut-and-paste into Write in text format from your email software, then read it in Word in RTF format, a lot of manipulations to which I am used but which I understand is not so easy for end-users of PCs and also error-prone. But it is easier and faster, still, than diskettes, which which I don't have much success, in addition to the fact that files are often incompatible so ping-pong boucing takes in this case a long time, unacceptable in ISO work, when we meet every 6 months and all ballots having to be made in a timeframe of 6 months almost sharp, too sharp. Conclusion: I will reprint the 2 files at my office tomorrow (hopefully no printer problem), send you the hard copy by fax and we'll forget for the moment the electonic file (if central secretariat wants it to ease publishing then, they can ask me, they are used to manipulations of the kind I'm talking about). What is your fax number to avoid searching in my mess? (-: Writing from home. Regards. Alain LaBonté
