I simply cannot download that word-file. Neither by 'save target as', clicking on the link and 'open', nor clicking the link and 'save'.

Dunno what's gotten into it....

I don't know what's going on either.
A friend told me that the whole text was offsetted after downloading the file and renaming it into a .doc  :?
I tested it and downloaded the file. After renaming it into "test.doc" it worked without any problems.

By the way:
I found this handy program "PDFXChange Viewer" which is a pdf reader with tools to write and change pdfs!

With this program you could download the pdf cards and create textfields to fill in the needed informations like names or characteristics before printing the file. Of course it took some time editing the cards but it's really cool!

I had a brief problem but was able to download it then I had to rename it with a .pdf extension so that Adobe knew to open it.  After that, smooth sailing.

Renaming worked - but the cards seem a little off center - i set the left margin to 2.8 cm, and now it seems centered - but I have to print and measure.

Normally, when doing something like this, I would control the centering by placing a big table the full width of margin-to-margin - then center elements inside the cell, but, obviously, what is needed here is a DTP application with rulers, such as MS Publisher, Adobe InDesign or the likes (there might be some free alternatives, I don't know).

I am working at getting a discounted copy of InDesign that will run on Vista (I need it for page setup of a Danish version of SBH, that I got permission to make), and if i get it soon, I could set up the pages if you (Yggdrasil) send me a picture file of the 4 elements needed (Lurker front and back, Treshold front and back)? I may even have an old version of Publisher, have to check - it should do the job, too....

@ Argonor:
Thank You for offering your Support :)
Due to a short hollyday trip I cannot send you the files in the moment (I'm using my notebook right now but not the desktop PC where the files are safed).

You will get them at Tuesday.

Might be some time before I have the application needed - MS Published does not seem to be part of my old Office 2000 package, and I have an IT-guy working at the InDesign thing....
