Please, please, please: can web site developers who put curricula and research reports out on the net put them in .pdf versions for download? I just copied a Tom Sticht article connecting parenting programs and adult education page by page! Now I am face with copying the Oregon curriculum section by section. For those of us who read a lot of research reports and curricula, it is a nightmare, plus think of all the extra trees we kill printing page by page. If I copy the content into a word processor, I lose the formatting while picking up a bunch of formatting symbols that I have to delete. Losing the formatting can really affect the readability of a report, especially if it has tables and charts. Ditto for curriculum. Pdf files are easy to create using Adobe from your original file. If web site developers and/or the content writers would do that, then the many people who want to read and use their output could do so so much more efficiently. Many of us would be so eternally grateful. Kathleen Bombach
