Funny you should say that, Mark, but I'd just downloaded and was
trying out a 'Try before buy' copy of Fine Reader 7. Appears to be
complete and not crippled, and I get to use it in full for 15 days. I
suppose after that I could just keep reinstalling every 15 days or for
the odd job. Nice clean no-nonsense interface, and pretty effective in
use so far. Who knows, I might even buy a copy. Now I've definitely
got no excuse to get started on that Beeb webpage :-)
