Sam,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you- I was out of town.

I tried out the files, and here's the scoop:

RTF files have no problem (I just increase the font size a bit so they're more readable)

PDF files: the sample you gave me with acrobat worked fine, though it was only partial (I'm assuming this was a portion of the text)
exporting it from Open Office either with your macro or the built in PDF export function caused the same problems (very slow and later pages missing).

I also tried printing the files to PDF manually, and PrimoPDF came up with the same problems, but AcrobatWriter worked fine. So it seems to be the PDF software- apparently only Acrobat works. Don't know if there's any way to fix this except use Acrobat. But the RTF files work great, so I will probably just stick with them.

Thanks again for all your work!
