From: Peter Mac on 12 Jan 2009 06:18 YER BEAUTY!!!! Success at last! Last time I just deleted the 'Aware97' line, but having deleted the whole OCRWARE file (?) I get a clean start on PPT – and the simple OCR programme I use still works! Many thanks Steve and to all others who contributed. PS The canine dino suit is available in large human size – I'm wearing mine now as a celebration!
