Shiny Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Peggy Having trouble downloading, keeps saying cannot read format or something. Anyone else getting that? Shiny
Guest Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Having a problem too-it says something about the embedded font. I assume the font used is not compatible with my PC. Linda
Guest Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yep. Me too! Something to do with embedded font whatever that means.
Guest Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I think it is because they have used microsoft 2002. When I copied and pasted into word on my PC it closed the program down and gave me a message about upgrading-I have Vista.
Guest Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yes me too I have ? Vista and couldn't read it Will try and open it with an older version

Rea Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 HERE I couldnt download either so I found the page
Guest Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Confession time, I couldn't read the PDF download either, just thought I'd see if you lot could download it. I did try to ask for the cards to be posted to me, di the contact details process which ended by saying I had just requested their magazine I did however send them a feedback form stating the download problem, so if I hear back from them I'll let you know. By the way have Vista. If we have no luck then maybe those of you who have downloaded, could you transfer to word doc and attach? Peggy

Shiny Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Peggy I tried to order them and the magazine link came up for me too! AHHHH!
Guest Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Peggy I tried to order them and the magazine link came up for me too! AHHHH! I got this response to my email today, it seems that if you order the magazine you will get the cards. Quote Dear Ms Minter, I'm sorry you had problems downloading the cards. The cards come in a pack with our latest broadcast information magazine - O.Zone - and both are listed on the order page. I've arranged for a pack to be sent to you which I hope you will find helpful.
