Hi Pat

Totally in the Dark!!

Nonsense! It's 10 or 11 on a wonderful Sunday morning, with a bright blue
sky.

But it may be night-time where MachineShop lives and perhaps he/she needs to
turn on the lights in the warehouse, so the machine can read the text.

Hi MachineShop

A Word document contains lots of special formatting and codes so that Word
can read it. It is unlikely that a machine control could cope. Try saving
the Word document as plain text using File > Save As.

Hope this helps.

Call information, and have them trace the call. Then you'll be found.
