Hello Jean - 

JP>> I do. I still have not gotten use to reading a manual
JP>> on-screen. 

CA>> I do. The advantage being I can search for terms much
CA>> faster on the computer than I can flip pages. 

JP> I am still used to book reading and have not "trained" to
JP> screen reading. Maybe I should make the effort. 

I wasn't recommending use of a computer for reading, use of the
monitor rather than paper just happened to me as a side effect
of having used a computer as much as I have. Searching a book
for just one sentence or one word is quite time consuming while
using the same text within a computer file is not. I study the
KJV and NIV on my computer for this reason. I accomplish in a
few hours what would require weeks using printed pages. 

CA>> TseJr will open multiple documents and even do split
CA>> screens. You need to practice but opening multiple
CA>> documents and toggling or split screen does work.
CA>> I do it.

JP> I read about it but have not used it yet. Again, maybe I
JP> should. 

I began using split screens of multiple files for programming
when I couldn't recall the exact spelling of variables and
function names. Typos are killers when writing computer
programs. 

JP>> But looking at Acrobat Bible, I gave it a pass, on the
JP>> printer that is, too many pages. 

JP> The bible that I refered to was this brick of a manual that
JP> comes with Ted Padova CD about Acrobat Reader. Over 500
JP> pages. I did not print it ! 

After years of reading technical material I consider any manual
of more than 100 pages a 'career choice'. If the software does
not contribute to my life in any significant way I delete the
software and throw away the manual if over 100 pages. 

btw: I hate Adobe with a passion and avoid PDFs if at all
possible.
