From: Stephen Ford on 24 Feb 2010 18:20 Thanks for confirming this feature is available. I quessed it should be. I don't think the sender is particularly PC literate so when I suggested they look for the option before posting this I didn't get coherent response. The 2007 compatibity pack has worked fine.
