Actually not. What it is is pointed, and it is not selfish because I posted on behalf of someone other than myself. It is an attempt to get others to see the point of view of those who prefer printed manuals instead of treating their requests as though they don't really matter, which is how your reply to Jim came off to me, and how almost all of the previous replies by others on this matter have also come off. You accuse me of being rude when almost all of the replies regarding requests sent to this list for a printable manual have been approaching rude and have definitely been condescending. Two people have replied with links to printable resources. Everyone else has only spouted excuses as to why there aren't any. Those replies are not helpful. If a project as large and complicated as OpenOffice.org can have a printable manual (which it does: http://billsey-christian.net/tmp/ShotsOfOOoManual.JPG ; apparently done largely by one person), certainly scribus can also. ________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ http://www.lulu.com/billsey -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
