Where is this? Maybe I'm blind, but I looked all over Cica. I looked for anything with Dinger in it, I also looked in winword\gtools.zip. I searched the INDEX file. Maybe other people are having problems finding it too. It sounds like a great utility and I'd really like to try it. If you could tell me where it is, I sure would appreciate it.
