Wulfc: I detest reading large volumes on a computer screen, but, yes, you're right it's going to be massive... I'll have to consider how to approach it. I can comb bind, but not that big! I may reformat the Word version to eliminate the excessive whitespace & see what I get.
Ah, i thought you might be looking for a way to have a physicall backup ;)
I'm so used to reading stuff on screen that i don't mind it much anymore but i can see how that could be a problem.
In any case, yes, it's probably a good idea to see if you can do anything to cut down on the number of pages a little.
