Just so you know, the files have been updated on the Edge newsletter, so
feel free to download it again if you like.

Hi Dave:

Can you email me or post a link to the file you were working on? I'll be
happy to have a look.

Hey Dave:

Somehow the file became a read-only file. I didn't make it that way so
no idea what went on, but it's an easy fix.

Windows
right click on the file and choose Properties. UN-check the read-only
check box.

Mac

I don't have a Mac handy, but I believe you can make this setting change
by viewing File Info.

Problem 2

It seems that FW was remembering export size settings from something
else I was working on. Go to the two other pages and for each page,
choose File > Image Preview. Go to the File tab and reset the scaling to
100%. Click OK

Do that for both page and you should be fine. In the meantime, I'll send
an updated file to Adobe that fixes both issues.
