Boy I opened a can of worms with my ????
but at least I got some advice and help,thanks to
Guillermo Espitia Rojas,ken and a couple of other
people!Hey Ken I see that you are doing the same thing
I am doing copying the manual and putting it in my
word processing program"Lotus Word Pro", I am halfway
through it I would probably be done but my wife does not like it
when I spend to much time on the puter(afraid I might learn
something and make money and leave her)(he he) anyway
there are a couple of tutorials that did not turn out the way
the documentation renderings ( I cut and pasted these)
so I can print this manual out I hate trying to learn with
online help systems back and forth from program to tutorial
and to print it out the way they have it set up I would waste to much
paper

You know that there is a PDF version, don't you? And why not print it from Word
directly?

What I did to save paper was to print the Mac version as 2-up, front and
back, landscape, on the Mac. It's still easy enough to read, and only
takes about 80 sheets of paper. (If you don't have access to a
front-and-back printer, it'll be 160 sheets of paper...) You'll need to go
to "layout" after choosing "print", and then choose "2" pages per sheet,
print on both sides, and then make sure that the binding (look at the
picture on the left) is at the top.

  In UNIX you can use adobe acroread to print the pdf documentation to
a postscript file and then use mpage to print 2 pages per sheet (or more
if you want, but that way you will get smaller and more unreadable pages).
  If you don't have a printer which can print to both sides, then you can
just print first the odd pages and then the even pages to the same sheets
at the other side (I'm not sure, but I think ghostview can do this). This
way you can get the 80 sheets.
