Other possibilities include copying the contents of the CD onto a USB memory stick, or buying an external CD drive to connect to your computer. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
