PDF it as well (it'll be smaller than the original PDF, and text selection
will work) and put 'em both up for download on gzg.com?

Cheers,

Can do, does it need tidying up first though? I have doen the first couple of
chapters but the rest is still raw.

Ok. I have uploaded the first 4 chapters. 1&2 are pretty much tidy, 3 is half
done and 4 is still raw. I can carry on tidying them up but if you can't wait
I can upload them all looking like 4, but if you don't have the original it's
going to be hard work.

Why PDF it when people are asking for the file in Word Format?

A PDF with OCR is usable in more places than either the
original graphical PDF or an MS-Word version; and you can cut and paste
things from it into your own work just as with MS-Word.

I did say "as well". Converting from MS-Word to PDF is trivial if you
have the tools available.

And its an awful lot smaller, chapter 3 for instance is just shy of 600k as a
pdf whereas the.doc version that it derives from is 2.5MB

It looks like there are 2 people doing the same thing on here I have DSII
scanned and ocr'd with images in word. And it look like Michael has as well,
we need to agree who is doing what else I think the work may end up being done
twice here.

Yep. I'd give the old rubber stamp for PDF as well. Very portable for
most platforms (except vt-100 and its ilk).

I suppose we ought to get the Word Format dudes to make a version in PPT for
John Atkinson?

If you ask, I'll do the graphics, just tell me which pages to reproduce and
I'll do it.

As an example: http://www.tablegamer.com/dirtside/pg11-turrets.pdf you
may use this if you wish.

There's also a PNG version:

Send me a note off-list if you want to talk about more of these.
