Source vs. distribution
Just so everyone is clear, it's just the source that has been updated from AppleWorks to Word. Both downloads are, indeed, PDF files. I've added that bit to the original article just to make sure it's clear ;-).

Speaking of source, wouldn't you have even more control over your layout, if you started using *tex?
TexShop really is quite nice.

whee, my first post :)
Looks impressive...
But all I wanted was inline image control and no down-sampling of hi-res images :-). I suppose if I ever wanted to publish the Guidebook, I'd have to get more serious about layout. For now, Word seems to fit my needs quite nicely, but TeXShop looks pretty cool for more advanced control over layout.

Well. For some time I was stuck with a pdf version of Bruce Eckels "Thinking in Java" because the University Bookshop was out of it. The problem for me was, that Bruce choose to export the pdf file directly from Word with left aligned text.

I'm confused, what's wrong with left aligned text. Are most print items left aligned?

Well, I think it is a personal issue. But a good example of something you just might not want to read onscreen is here.
It is a zipped pdf of one of our text books at this semester. Since I had to wait two months before fresh copies made it to my university, this was what I was stuck with. Given that I don't have a printer at home and printing is sorta expensive here, you might get an idea of my pain if you download the file.

This is academic since you've already switched programs.
AW and images...
Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough; you can inline an image, but you can't inline an image and control text wrap. To do that, you need it floating, and then it has the 'fixed in space' problem.

It looks good, but I would have done it in Quark. Word drives me crazy. Of course, it helps that I've been using Quark since about 1987. I find it works well in Classic, but there are graphic box issues regarding refershing. I generally ignore that.
Congratulations!
Hello Rob, Nice work!
I'm a simple person :-)
The Guidebook is not a great testament to utilizing the full powers of Word :-). The headlines and sub-headlines actually aren't in any style; they're just text formatted and then I copied/pasted when I needed a new one. I know, I know ... a horrendous thing to do because it makes things such as TOC impossible to do ;-).

I ended up not getting a chance to check out the Appleworks stuff last night, hopefully tonight... |
