Hi, I have just tried the new system and it is no different from the original!

I've just used the link, though, and am not seeing any Download button or warning; perhaps the page is still being worked on? I tried in both Firefox 3.6.3 and IE8. >There is also a warning to edit the file with the >appropriate software (as happens when transcribers download their files). Does this mean transcribers should see a warning about editing when they click to download from File Management? I'm not seeing one here either. Could I also ask about "appropriate software", please? I know that when checking a page with BMDVerify, some of my team use Notepad to make quick corrections, rather than opening up WinBMD.
