Hi Chris,

Totally agree. Do you know why the first reader won't accept a PDF? Comments, corrections etc. can be done on a PDF, just as they can in a Word document. So seems very strange to me.

Why on earth?  Stephen is absolutely correct about the problems about
the issues involved in submitting a document in a non-standard format
such as (any version of) Word.  *Anyone* should be able to read a PDF
document, and see the same result.  If your "first reader" is not
actually modifying the document, the requirement that it should be in
Word format is absurd.
