Is there a way to save my owners manual or parts of it to my handheld? I like the idea of being able to read the more complicated info. that I never the leisure to digest in the many boring meetings that I am have to endure at work. I wish that Sony had a hard copy of the manuals available, as I find the CD-Rom format somewhat uninviting. Is there a way? I have Handstory and Isolo and have tried all the ways I know to clip excerps to my NX. , Francis

I would guess you could put in on your Clie if wanted. I haven't tried this but will, later this evening. __________________ Energizer Bunny Arrested -charged with battery

If it is, Repligo does a wonderful job with PDF documents. Actually, Repligo does a wonderful job with almost any document(Word, Excel, Web). It's definitely worth the $$. If you want a free viewer, download the Picsel viewer that everyone is talking about. It's very nice as well. __________________ Most answers you need are here - FAQ Section

I agree, though - a hardcopy User's Manual would have been helpful when I got started. __________________ ...and draw my word on your machine.

You may also be able to use iSilo or Handstory too, I have never tried it. __________________ Cheers! Larry Winward T\|T3 + SE T610 + SE HBH-65 = BT Heaven!

I couldn't either copy and paste passages of the text. How did you do that???
