Digital BW, The Print

I agree.  I looked at the files first when I resubbed to the list this time.  There wasn't too much to help but through a search I actually found a very good synopsis of how to use QTR in more or less 'soft proof' mode written by Lou Dina I believe.  I copied it for my own use and it would be a good candidate for the files.The other thing I copied (and I've printed out both) is the help from Roy Harrington's page for the same usage.  These have been helpful to me, but I bet something along the lines of how to actually use QTR for the beginner would be a good addition to the file--something similar to Lou's very short and sweet directions for proofing.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Will this forum ever get streamlined?



  I have been reading this group for a couple of years now and have 
  been much impressed by the dedication of many of the expert regulars 
  who often politely answer seemingly daft and naive questions from 
  novices such as myself. More often than not my questions would have 
  been answered many times in the past on a monotonously regular basis 
  and understandibly the answers given to my questions might be less 
  than comprehensive. The only mitigation I have to some of my 
  ignorance is that it is difficult to search the site.
  One answer might be if that some kind soul who recognises that a 
  certain thread has satisfactorily thrashed out an issue, were to 
  post a summary in the Files section. Future questioners on that 
  topic could then be directed to that file.
  As an example of my frustration - I have recently bought IJC/OPM in 
  favour of QTR simply because of all the confusion of newbies as to 
  what to download, where to find the instructions and how to get an 
  overview - these are questions which have been answered many times 
  in this group, but I am still none the wiser as I have faied to 
  collate all the disjointed snippets which are spread over many many 
  posts. On the other hand Louis Dina put some excellent information 
  on IJC in the files which was the clincher for me. 
  Sorry that I have rambled, but the use of the Files section would be 
  beneficial to all I think.
