I'll have to check out the "south seas" stories. I inherited a first-generation Sony eReader from my father who has since upgraded to a Kindle, and there's about 17 L'Amour novels loaded on the device. It's as good a reason as any to broaden my horizons, I expect :) Yes, it’s part of the Sackett novels. I’ll have to check out the “south seas” stories.

Those were all mostly fun. I find myself more drawn to the "south seas" stories from earlier in his career. A little less polished, maybe, but with settings that are a bit more exotic and appealling to me... life in the desert west is all too familiar. :-) “The Daybreakers” is part of the Sackett novels, yes?

"Flint." Enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm now reading "The Daybreakers," which is okay but not yet up to "Flint." I just read my first L’Amour novel last weekend. “Flint.” Enjoyed it quite a bit.

I have MS Word X (hee hee), the very first OS X incarnation. Hey, it's getting the job done. So I'm a full version ahead of yours.

I agree with the posters on the Apple.com discussion you linked that feel Pages should be up for a task like this. I hope you have a version of MS Word for the Mac. I do, but I haven't wanted to install it on my newer Macbook with Snow Leopard, as it's Office 2004 I believe... at any rate, a version that doesn't have a universal or Intel-only binary. On an entirely unrelated note, do you happen to know what font your website is using for comment entry? I like it very much. That’s too bad, Bob.

I'm not sure which version of Pages you might be using, but have you tried using the Export to PDF function instead of using the PDF selection from the printing menu? The PDF selection under Export reads "Create a PDF document that can be viewed and edited with a PDF application, or viewed in a web browser." Hi Bob!
