Could we have some information about what is on the CD's? The catalog is
rather cryptic. What texts, if any, resoloution of the pictures, which ones,
etc. As a publisher, I assume Hachette would like to make their CD 'read
only" no cut and paste allowed. This could conceivably be like Adobe Acrobat
format where you can see the text on the screen but can't do anything with
it much. If you can get to "Edit/Select All" you can copy and paste into
WordPad, a technique that has worked for me on some reluctant internet
files.
