That's why it's best to throw it into the forum and get the thoughts from everyone elses head as well. Good thought though. Once the book is ready to print, it is ready also for CD. I guess personally I would have both. To me, I don't know, maybe I've got to change my thinking, but there is something about seeing a good printed work on paper. But yes it's an exellent thought. Can't answer your queries so I have posted this to the group. Thanks again, Ian
