[Brian Regan <brian_regan@CCMAIL.MONROE.EDU>]

     Thanks to all who responded.  I've included below any tips I got,
     including the response I got from the puzzlemaker webmaster (the first
     one below).

Have you tried to save the puzzle to a word processor?  There are directions on
our FAQs link if you want to try that.  I'm not sure what else to suggest at
this time.  Please check back with us and hopefully we will have more
information later.

Unfortunately, in order to keep the Puzzlemaker on the web we had to go
to this new format.  We are doing everything we can to make the transition go
smoothly.  We have a call in to Microsoft and we will post additional
information on our FAQs link as it becomes available to us.  (It seems to be a
flaw in the software.)  We are trying to determine a fix so please check back
with us periodically.  Also, you should be able to still use the word search
puzzles with your current browser.

Thank you-
Paul Stephens

     I tried this site again, and now it works fine on my broswer (Netscape
     4.06), but it didn't earlier this evening (?).  It depends on what
     version of Netscape you are using.  It needs to be version 4.04+.  Or,
     try using MS Internet Explorer.  It works *very* well for this site,
     and for other sites using png graphics.

     Here is the official PNG website  http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/

     Here is Puzzlemaker's explanation (FAQ) about their new png format.

     This page gives lots of choices for downloads of viewers for this type
     of file.  Maybe you just need a plug-in for one of your viewers,
     QuickTime for example.

     Hope this helps.

     It works fine still on my Mac G3 with Netscape 4.05.  (Doesn't look
     any different).

     One way round it is to use a paint programme - open the PNG document
     and then save it in GIF format.
