No one (apart from an occasional idiot web site which tries and fails) is forcing me or you to run browser windows full screen. --

You cannot hop hyperlinks from inside that Composer. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

If you see it again maybe try it on another PC on your network, just to see whether something is on the fritz with the browser or Acrobat. The latter would not surprise me one bit, considering that it holds the absolute record of hard crashes out here. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

I imagine a lot of people do find your web site after things have gone wrong, and you're not just telling them, "hey, you screwed up!," but rather "sure, you might have screwed up, but guess what, I can fix it!" I think Frank is just not the kind of guy who ever sees himself using your services, Joerg, and even the best web page in the world wouldn't convince him otherwise. ---Joel

IMHO, this is often an IT-Nazi policy, especially if the IT guys were raised on Windows rather than *NIX. |
