Hello Everyone:
The NewtonBook version of the MessagePad 2100 Owner's Manual is finished!
Although it is a text-only version, great pains were taken to optimize
readability. The total file size is approximately 720k -- not too shabby for a 259
page technical document!
The document is available in MP 2100 Portrait or Universal modes.
Here are a few details:
1) Bold text was used to designate specific commands in the manual, such as,
"Tap {b}New{b} to open a new file."
2) Quotation marks, italics, and other formatting were used, to help make
each line of instructions as clear as possible.
3) Numbered steps and individual sub-topics are highlighted in bold text and
spaced apart, for clarity
4) A table of contents lists every chapter and (most) sub-topics. To view
the TOC, tap the "Overview" (the equal sign / dot thingie in the lower right
corner of your screen).
I sent an e-mail to http://dev.newtontalk.net/, asking them to please post
the document for free access by the Newton community. If you can't wait for
them to post it, shoot me an e-mail, and I'll get a copy into your hot little
hands.
Note: There were one or two bugaboos within the imported RTF document that
kept causing my NewtonPress application to crash, which is why I omitted one or
two sub-topics in the TOC. However, the finished NewtonBook reads just fine.
:O)
