Re: [Finale] Adobe Reader 7
Thanks fro the "heads up" about Acrobat 7. It works much better for me. Last year I couldn't get the first Ac 6 to work smoothly with Finale's online manual and tried a number of things, but eventually when the update to Ac 6 came along, I could click on the online manual button and it began to work. But this new version 7 is fast and works better with other programs,too. I only heard about it, here, so thanks Harold! David McKay www.davidmckay.info [christmas present] __ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm guessing you're on Windows as MS Internet Explorer development ended on the Mac some time ago. Mac users shouldn't worry, I certainly wasn't forced into upgrading anything when upgrading Adobe Reader in OSX - it's well worth doing.

I'm guessing here as to Adobe's reasoning, but the MS encryption components are in IE. I never use IE or Outlook either, but had to upgrade IE in order to install some applications last year. The vendor explained that because registration was an online function, MS included the encryption components in IE, not in Windows per se. (The issue of the integrated browser was subject to a lawsuit several years ago.) As I said, just guessing, but the IE upgrade didn't mean I ever used it (and still don't -- I used Opera for years, and have now switched to Firefox for browsing, and have used Eudora for email).

Harold wrote: Dear folks, I downloaded Adobe Reader 7 from VersionTracker and substituted it for Adobe Reader 6 Another irritant with the latest Finale distribution: I do not. and will not ever use Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Outlook Express. Period. Ever. I was strongly irritated when, while installing FIN 2005, I decided to go ahead and install Acrobat Reader 6, only to find that AR6 would not install without my upgrading IE. Not in My lifetime I won't. I'll muddle through first, using Ghostscript / Ghostview before I upgrade IE. I expect, since I needed to upgrade IE to install AR-6, I'll also need to do so to install AR-7, so that's not going to happen, either. BTW Now you know why, a while back, I sought some feedback on the option of asking for documentation to be in some format other than ~.pdf. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
