Sorry Amy, I'm just an ordinary user. I got the solution I told you from a post on the Adobe forum, and offhand, I don't even remember the guys name.I've received messages from Adobe staff to upgrade, and the r.h. tool bar is optional. But there again, I don't know what version # is most current.So, short answer, I dunno!Good luck.
