Thanks, Martin. Yes, I agree, if someone has special fonts, PDF format is a
good way to save them for everyone to view, on any operating system, as far
as I know.

I prefer a process which is even easier than the one you describe. I use
pdf995 from URL:
http://www.pdf994.com

There is no setup, other than copying the pdf printer driver to my Microsoft
Windows printer driver folder.

A question: Is there any way to get URL links to be active within PDF
documents. I have many sound file liinks within my dictionary files. The
links work fine within MS Word, but when I make a PDF file to keep my
special Cheyenne characters, the links show up with the usual blue
underlining but they are not active. Nothing happens when I click on them. I
cannot access my sound files from my PDF document. Is this just a quirk of
the PDF printer driver I am using, or is it true of all PDF documents?
