JeanL, I am an old man adn don't read very well from the screen. Tried to print your guide and lot of text gets cut off. Do you mind formating the pages so they are convenient for printing, or just posting printable version. I'd help with formating if necessary.
Regards,
Maksa

Maksa, I'm sorry about the small fonts etc.
I'm willing to do a printer-friendly version! Could you explain to me how to come up with one? I don't know how to do that...
One thing I know how to do would be to modify the css file to use much larger fonts... That would certainly help with the screen appearance, and probably also with the printed version. WOuldn't help with the screenshots, of course.

but I have saved HTML page on the HD and opened it with Word. I was able to format it then so I have margins and text is not cut off. I guess that would be the way, just add the pointer to the main page to direct it to that page.
I hope this helps...maybe some other capable programmers could help?

I ended up doing the same as Maksa when the "More Info" boxes overlapped the page (the rest of the text wraps lines just fine).
An easy way to move those "more info" boxes is to look at IE's source file, find the more info boxes (not all of them overlap the page margin) and move the margins in to, say, 0px from the 160px. This works just fine and prints well.

Oh, OK I get it, I didn't realize the problem was with the more info boxes which don't wrap (that's annoying).
Maybe I could make these boxes less wide, or move them more to the left...

Yep Jean,
That was what I was suggesting ... to move them to the left. The rest wraps perfectly :)
{EDIT} Note: Some of the JPEGs don't quite fit on a portrait page but that's no problem as the user can quite easily see what's going on. I wouldn't worry about that. {EDIT}
