Printable Manual

Does anyone have or know where to get a printable Version of the manual that is on the CD. All I have is a html Version that would be a real pain to print.

already printed that off. Went and printed out the manual on the disk, took a little while but I got it. Gotta get some more paper protectors on the way home from work so I can get it into my three ring binder. Thanks though, use the FAQ so much it's easier just to have it printed out and there for easy reference.

Wasn't there a PDF Version among the extras in the gold CD?

Edit: Yes, there is. But it has black backgrounds and doesn't look very printable.

You'd get better results by printing directly from the HTML using your browser, most browsers will ignore colored backgrounds when priniting, but yes it's a pain in the *** to have to open each of the more than 100 pages to print it.

All have to look, I didn't think to look there.

You may be able to tweak the printer settings to get the black to print in gray scale.

You can also copy and paste into Word. That would be a lot of work.
It is doable.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had setup the printer to print with the lowest ink setting and on draft quality. Still came out good, and printed each HTML document. Then banged head on wall when I looked in the extra's folder and find the PDF Version. Oh well it worked and that is all that matters.

Thanks

Why is it a lot of work? Open PDF. Hit ctrl + a. Hit ctrl + c. Go into word. Hit ctrl + v. Everything pasted at once.

Fyron, that doesn't work. Or rather it does, but only one page at a time.

EDIT: unless you set the PDF to "continueous" mode THEN do a select all.
