I don't care about litigation!

If it was Special Edition - Using Microsoft Office XP then I agree with
Suzanne. It was probably the MOST disappointing book I have read from the
authors and I am loathe to buy anything from them again. As Suzanne as
suggests, it was a badly reworked version of their book. It was rushed out
to print, is full of inaccuracies and just doesn't flow.

: Hi Gang:

Templates
: window.
: When I perform this activity, File, New displays the New Document
task

: Is there a setting somewhere, outside of the registry to change this

made
: some changes to it and passed it off as brand new work?
: Thanks
