Problem with saving standalone

[Stgoldberg at aol.com]

Thanks Jacqueline,
Your suggestion worked immediately and there was no difficulty saving the 
standalone as soon as I turned off "Search for required inclusions" and turned on 
"Select inclusions for the standalone." I'm impressed with the great talent 
in the forum.   Thanks.
