I always drag them to the trash and drop them there. Then I ask the sender to send the files in another format, such as PDF or ODF (usually the sender doesn't know what ODF is so it usually ends up with a PDF). Solves the problem for me… Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ > > -Stephen Knudsen >
