Hi, thanks for your response, but I have to laugh. "why don't you invest some time and do it yourself?"
I cannot tell you how much time I've already invested trying to "do it myself." I've searched all over the Internet, posted on WP forums, tried all their suggestions, spent HOURS upon hours trying different things. Days, weeks of it.....nothing has worked. That's why I'm trying to find someone who could just present me with a professionally-repaired, clean document, but I cannot seem to find anyone. Posts on here are just ignored; this isn't the first time I've tried.
I might try your suggestion, though; it sure wouldn't hurt. At this point, I'm figuring on just having to retype about 40 pages....or pay someone to do it....ugh........so...what is the "underwater screen?" Reveal codes? If so, I've spent a ton of time with that, trying to remove this and that.....that was one of the big suggestions made by the WP forum folks.....didn't work.
Again, thank you for responding; it seems that apart from you, this is an area where no one can give me any feedback or help. Not sure how to proceed at this point....like I say, if you know an expert who could do this, I'd be grateful.
