Hi Lloyd,

Thanks for responding. But when I wrote:

I was just forgetting that it was Control Page Down that I'd also just 
tried, without success. Anyway, I had already done that. Can you think of 
some adjustment I might make in one of Adobe Reader's menus to allow it to 
load the entire doc at once? As I said, it's Adobe 7, if that helps describe 
what the menus include.

Thanks.

Try ctrl-PgDn for the next page and ctrl-PgUp for the previous.  It is
switching into this single-page mode because your document is larger than a
threshold set in the screen reader preferences of Acrobat Reader.
