I don't have my Adobe suit to hand but I would be amazed if there were no way of exporting a text file from InDesign.

Even select all> Copy: Open an eMail program and paste it into a new document then send it to them. That should do the trick? Michael tells me there is a PC utility called 'Notes' which might do the trick.

This is a timely reminder that I promised Eric I would do a test with InDesign over Christmas, we had Christmas didn't we... Better get it done, else Eric will think I have forgotten.Too late.

I retired.

:rofl:

Is that true?
:wine:

Only joking. :-)

I think I joined the first forum on 2006? I seem to remember Eric talking about retiring back then! I've come to understand that however much he might wish to the machinery companies around Norfolk simply couldn't do without him!

Honestly if you enjoy the work, and are able to manage your time well enough to do everything else you want to do, why retire? I can see the point if you are a corporate slave working in something that you really hate, and I can see the point if you want to go travel the world for a couple of years and work is just getting in the way, but otherwise?

That's very true. Although, back then, it was more wishful thinking.
Since then I have adopted a 'work comes second' approach and allowed my business portfolio to wither if it may.

It's also a fact that there are a lot of companies being managed by younger men who don't want a silver haired old b*gger doing their photography and design. They seem to think it smacks of outdated ideas. They may be right. :rofl:

We are planning two x 6-8 weeks excursions this year. My absence may necessitate them using someone else. Call it a self inflicted injury ...but like I said, its time for work to take a back seat.

:thumbsup:

Life is too short to become a money slave.
I saw this when I was doing IT consultancy, people were too 'scared' to take a holiday as their contract may be cut. As I pointed out to them the fact that they were employed was demonstration that their skill was needed.

No point in having time and money when you are too old to enjoy them.

Kathy,
re: I just said "that is not technically possible"
You are ever so right,
If people want voluntary (unpaid) work, they will have to live with the consequences.
(by the way, I have an uncanny feeling that you are in a turf-war)
Good luck,
Gilbert
