PDF's are okay if there are links....but this one, like most doesn't have links and you have to use thumbhail view Yeah I couldn't find it anywhere either.

have found that reading pfds is rather pointless as all they tell you is how to wear them.

The one other thing I like about .pdf files is that they print out very nicely, obviously, since that was the reason the format was created. Call me old-fashioned, but I find that having a printed reference to flip through while I work is easier than tabbing back and forth between windows.

On the original topic, I also wish this information were more easily available to the general public for answering questions.

you don't have to buy a product to download and install SDC. It's free

That's true, but I think it misses the point of Essencay's original post, at least as I understood it. For answering fairly simple questions, it would be very complicated to give them a link to Download SDC, then give them instructions to Download the ODNT manual .pdf file, then tell them to look on page 'X' for the answer.

It would be a lot better for all concerned, IMHO, if the file could be available in .asp, or .html, and link to the relevant page/section. )

P.S. Putting my money where my mouth is, so to speak, I'd be happy to volunteer time, resources, and effort with conversion to make this happen.
