That I'll agree to. We've almost gone to RTF formats for documents to
avoid the problems we've had, but the problems have been in the area
of searching the Acrobat properties. The end result was we tested and
nobody was searching for any of those properties, so we haven't
worried about it.

I guess another topic would be better options for "universal"
documents that play nice with Indexing Services.

Thanks,

Jeff
