It would be nice Amy if you could at least describe where do make this changes, as anyone that needs to know what to do probably isn't familiar with ISA 2004 yet.
That kind of thing doesn't fit well into the blog format so I wrote a paper on this with step-by-step instructions. It doesn't seem to have been published yet. I'm not planning to add a new section to the column on the right for papers. You'll be able to download step-by-step's there soon.
Argh...that was supposed to read I'm NOW planning to add a new section to the column on the right for papers.
Have you posted that document somewhere? I think it would be very helpful still!
Any chance of a Hot-To on these steps? It would be extremely helpful if you have the time! Thanks!
