Default Newbie question on printing the manual

I am trying to figure out how to either print the entire manual or copy it to cd to take to my local printer to be bound as a reference. My poor eyes need bigger print then the manual supplied with my CD. Is there a way to print the manual "offline" I hope there is an easy way that I am overlooking thanks in advance.

Just to clarify, the manual that you want to reprint, is that the CD printed manual or the HTML manual ?

Don,
sorry for not being clear, I would like to print the HTML manual. Again I apologize if this is easy or clear somewhere else, I am not as computer literate as I should be, but I am working on it.....fred

OK, lets try this to start. I'm assuming you have a printer.

Go to the \WINSPMBT\Game Notes\Images folder and look for the HTM files that start with "manual" Start with Manual.HTM and click on it

Then go to FILE and click on Print Preview then press Print. Take a look at that print out and let me know if that type is too small for you ( it probably is but lets try this first as the next steps get more involved )

The next question is do you have a program that will allow you to alter HTML ? ( Word will work as I recal...I don't have it on my machine )

If you are viewing the HTML manual in Internet Explorer browser you can use the "View/Text Size" menu option to increase the size of the text.

I tried this and it does work on the guide. You can then print it out right from the browser. Best way to do this is right-click on the word "Introduction" in the left menu frame and select "Open in New Window". That will prevent the menu frame from taking up room on the printed page. Select "landscape" from the "Page Setup..." menu option for best layout.

Very Interesting, I've been using Firefox and although you can enlarge the text when viewing a document in Firefox when printing it reverst back to the standard size. I just tried this with Internet Explorer and that saved the increased text size and applied it to the document
