Open programs, scroll to WITP, in the WITP menu scroll to the appropriate PDF file, there are four: Print, tutorial, ebook, and editor. Choose e book for reading on the computer, or print, if you are going to print it, click and you are done.
BTW you do need the adopbe reader.

Are we playing the same game? My manuals are called: WITP_EditorManual, ..._Manual, ..._Manual_USLetter and ..._Tutorial.
The two listed in the middle "appear" to be the same, both 220 pages long. Which of these should I print[&:]

The for print version is the WITP_Manual-USLetter.pdf.

The other is aimed at reading online.

The diffence between the "Ebook" version and the "Print" version are as follows:

Ebook:
- Page size = 12.5 cm x 17.8 cm / DVD box sized
- PDA friendly (to a degree)
- Rendered at high resolutions
- has bookmarks and clickable index / links

US Letter version:
- Page size = US Letter
- Rendered at very hig resolutions (for proffesional printing)
- no interactivity


The "Ebook" is intended for on screen reading or for modern PDAs. It is rendered at high resolutions so you can print it at a reasonable quality. Note that printing it in the default size will save big time on ink, but also the text and graphics are smaller. If your eyes are good, print this one.

The "US Letter" version is intended for high quality printing and is simply ment as a backup version for those people that have eyesight problems.

You can print both at b/w if you want.

I hope this clarifies the differences.

I have no file that says ebook version. Exactly which one is it? I have editor manual, manual us letter, manual, and tutorial.

I would love to get this on my palm but am not sure how to convert a pdf file to a Word doc.

The only "paperback" manual is going to be one printed from one of the files.....
