I got the cheapo later version of the game, and no documentation supplied - its all on disk in .pdf files. Four wheel drift is a beaut, and I'd love to print it but 100 pages of A4 (Cumbersome)! Has anyone found a way of reformatting .pdfs so that could, e.g. print 2 A5s side by side on a landscape A4. Odd pages first, re-feed for even to get doublesided. Hrumph - can't even print odd or even only in Acrobat!! I tink lots of people would want to do this, to get the hardcopy they missed Tia, -- Laurence Wilmer [email hidden] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Laurence. You need a program called "fineprint" (www.fineprint.com) it has options for printing 2 pages per sheet, 4 pages per sheet and even 8 pages per sheet. I printed mine on 4 pages per sheet and it was quite readable. Maxx On Thu, 15 Feb 2001 16:57:08 GMT, "Laurence Wilmer" <[email hidden]> wrote:

As another option, check your printer setup. Some allow multiple pages on a printed page. My HP932 has this option, but I didn't know it until your post prompted me to look! Maxx <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks for that suggestion - not bad, but I don't get the graphics :-( -- Laurence Wilmer [email hidden] "Maxx" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Laurence. > > You need a program called "fineprint" (www.fineprint.com) it has > options for printing 2 pages per sheet, 4 pages per sheet and > even 8 pages per sheet.

The demo has a five day evaluation period, and it prints nasty headers and footers, but for a one off booklet-printing project it's brilliant. I want to buy the full version but $50 is a little steep for something I only need rarely. Besides, on my old computer (Acorn) my word processor could do all this stuff for free, so I resent Word's shortcomings! :-) Andrew McP
