VIEWING ....
All of these publications are provided here in PDF format, and to
view them you will require a PDF reader in your PC. You can download and
install either
of the free Foxit or Adobe readers via the links on the right here
- they 'unscramble' PDF
files so that you can read them in your browser or in your computer
once you have downloaded them. All you need do
is double-click the PDF file (either the icon on your desktop, if that's where
you've put it, or by hunting for it with Windows Explorer) and Foxit or Acrobat will
do the rest. |

PRINTING ....
 This
basic chore is not quite as simple as it appears.... both the Contest
Booklet and the Rules are portrait documents that naturally print at A4,
whereas you'll probably want the output as pairs of A5 pages on A4
landscape. Regrettably few
printers can manage this simple task.... One
very capable independent solution is "FinePrint", a sort of universal printer
driver that acts like an intermediary between your computer and your
printer output channels. Print to FinePrint (instead of your printer)
and up pops up a preview window from which you decide how and where to print it (or of course
to not print it at all - if something's not right you can abort the output and try again....), and provides
various format
translations to output from 2-up to 8-up on A4, with the duplex (both sides!) booklet printing that you want here. There are lots of 'delete
this page', 're-order', 'copy to clip-board', 'save as ASCII' options you'll
be hard put to find anywhere else, the thing typically saves 50% of your paper usage, and is one of those
utilities that once
you've got it you'll wonder how you managed before..... The 'free' download version
has some minor limitations, registering and forking out the moderate fee
clears them. As you can see, I'm a true convert.....!
