Final summary TCS2

[Alan T Litchfield]

As one who has faced similar with CS4 on three occasions, on two  
different computers but both running OS X, I feel your pain. After  
spending quite some considerable time in the first episode trying to  
figure out what had happened and reading various blogs and reports on  
the issues involved then trying and failing with the patching  
application from Adobe, for each case a complete uninstall (and  
manually removing any previous preferences, etc.) then reinstall was  
required. That means hours of lost productive time. Time that I cannot  
charge for.

I am at the moment considering how much work would be involved in  
creating a LaTeX class file or using TeX for a current 650 page book I  
am doing. There is a much greater sense of security in taking that  
approach for me. I am quite comfortable with doing that.

Of course in this part of the world phone support is generally out of  
the question, so that only leaves the interweb solutions such as the  
KB. But really, you should count yourself lucky because you actually  
got a response from your queries and on this list. I never have.
