Thanks to all who have furnished this info. But when I get the info pasted into my word processor (Word) it is still as though it is "selected" and I cannot do any editing. I have tried the "save as" but that does not seem to be an option for me. Any suggestions here. Thanks, ...Wanda Ellerbee... Wanda, If you are following my instructions, please note that I stated that this option was turned off on these PDF files by Harvey. It will not work. Rondina
