Re: Beamer question

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for your answers.  Much appreciated.  I'll have a look at seeing if I can sort that.   However since it took me almost a day just to get the miktex system working I am not so hopeful :) 

Cheers, Rob

So it seems to be suggesting a problem in a particular .sty file but that was just downloaded from CTAN so it seems odd ....  I have processed this same file on the ios TexWriter package and also on Scientific Word and it processes fine on both with no errors and looks like it should.
