272183 2004-09-14 00:57:00 I have MS Office 2003 installed (WinXP) and Adobe Acrobat v505. On loading up Word, I get a error message indicating Adobe could be incompatible with the Office product and suggests updating Adobe.

Can i overcome this without having to purchase (megabucks) a new Adobe program?

The latest version is 6.02 (well I havent seen, or updated it yet). Might be 03 or 04 now.

I suspect that Gary has v5 of Adobe Acrobat - the full package, which he won't be wanting to give up...
