Default Game Manual in HTML Format ??????

The Game arrived this morning.

How do I print this HTML Manual thing out in B&W ?

Do you have any idea what it would cost _us_ to print this 350 page manual in color, especially on a black bockground, in HTML.

I, and I think everyone else, want something to read and refer to, not "pull up" on screen.

I`m gunna be more then a little ticked if this manual cnnot be provided in a text based format as SE III was, especially since you never mentioned the HTML format while talking about the manual.

The Game comes with a 45 page printed manual to get you started. ( and for the most part refers you to the CD Manual )

The large, detailed, and very necessary Game Play manual is on the CD in HTML format.

I just got the game today and, yes, the full manual is ONLY in HTML format!!! I understand the need to include the real manual electronically, however I was really hoping it would be a PDF file so those of us who want to print it, can. Printing HTML pages is terrible! I sue hope they put out a downloadable PDF Version of the manual. I will get it as soon as it's available.

Just my opinion...Dave

Ditto here. A PDF file would be great for those of us that like to have a "game binder" open on our desk while playing the game.

Sorry guys I just got back from being out of town on business.

The choice of html format was Malfador's but...

I will look into setting up a pdf manual for download. Just depends on how big it is.
