Sorry, could not open file. So looking forward to reading the contents. Chapter titles
certainly appeal to me. Is there something I’ m not doing right?.

Jack, I tested a file at Improv for Singers and Instrumentalists. Everything worked.
Go to the file you desire. When you see it, click on the icon at top right hand corner (the pop up icon).
Then the full page should appear. Scroll to the bottom of page one, then look for the print button (which should appear)
either at top center or toward your top right.
You should be able to print. I was able to.
