For Peter
I tried it on the laptop which has Windows XP but Word 2003 and it has
worked on that one. It does look like the long 's' but not as is appears
in handwriting as they are joined to the next letter, but that is certainly
the best we have seen, so thanks very much for that. I wonder if I can
now work a fiddle somewhere so that it will work on the desktop as
well...there's something to keep me awake at night.
best wishes
Eunice
