Hi all,

I've been updating the ANDROMEDA TIPS AND TRICKS.doc file 
that I got from Will Yardley, and a beta in PDF format 
(about 750 kB) is available here:

http://home.planet.nl/~robnet/a6/A6TipsAndTricks.pdf

Any comments appreciated. The moment it's finished I'll 
return the source to Will. So this is the moment to 
complain. ;)


When I 'discovered' the .txt file I was really impressed by 
the amount of knowledge and time that was put into it, but 
I found it hard to read. I also wanted to convert it to my 
Palm, but especially the many hard returns in the quote 
text (80% of the doc) annoyed me. So for those interested, 
here are the changes:

- All hardcoded formatting replaced with style based 
formatting, i.e. the whole document. ;)

- All hard returns in quotes removed if it broke the line. 
This was true for most of the lines. ;) This now allows us 
the flow the quoted text, like the rest of the doc.

- Added a table of contents, with hyperlink support for 
html, OpenOffice and probably doc format versions.

- Changed the layout to a bit more modern style (I think).

Cheers!
Robert
