The problem was solved by rebuilding the source for UK settings not US.

Matthew,

I'm sorry that it has taken so long to respond to this email.  I'm also
sorry 
that I can not really comment on the problems you are having with Doc2pdf on

Windows 2000 Pro.  The reason being that I have never attempted to run 
Doc2pdf on anything but Windows 9x.  

Off hand, I can think of several things that might be causing you problems
-- 
one the fact that keystrokes are almost all different on Windows 2000.  If 
you look at the Doc2pdf code, you'll see that two completely different 
codepaths get executed depending on whether you are on Win9x or Win2000.
The 
problem is that I have not been able to test the Windows 2000 code.

From what you report (and from what others have reported), I is obvious that

there is a bug here.  The problem that I have is simply one of time -- I
have 
not had enough free time to install Windows 2000 and debug Doc2pdf.

I relize that knowing this does not get you any closer to a solution to your

problem, but at least it lets you know that I am aware of several problems
on 
Windows 2000.  I simply have not gotten around to fixing them.
