** INTRODUCTION This file accompanies the Next Generation episode guide. The guide is meant to be small and portable, ideal for the coffee table. It is easy to print it for yourself as long as you use an appropriate font and printer but, most importantly, print its pages in the appropriate order. ** NUMBERS The guide, in its final form, is 4¬ inches wide and 11 inches tall. This is achieved by folding normal 8« by 11 inch paper in half across the length. It is bounded like a book with staples. It is 20 pages in length when the pages are folded in half but is generated by a WordPerfect document that is only 10 pages in length. If your "small" printer font is too large, WordPerfect will automatically extend the document but this will adversely affect the paging in the guide. ** FILES The files contained within this archive are as follows: README.TXT The file you're reading now. EPISOLST.WP The coffee-table sized episode guide. That's it! ** PRINTING You can print your own copy if you have the following: microcomputer WordPerfect 5.1 Epson LQ-510 or printer with a small font paper 20 minutes Print the first 5 pages on one side of 5 pieces of paper. Keep them in order. Then print pages 6 through 10 on the opposite sides of these 5 sheets. Insert the sheets in the order that they were printed in the first run. In other words, the WordPerfect page 6 is printed on the back of sheet 1, the WP page 7 on the back of sheet 2, et cetera. Arrange them in stardate with the cover facing out. Staple carefully on the spine just like a small book. Fold in half. Presto! ** OTHER PRINTERS Obviously, you may not have an Epson LQ-510. You can still print this document if you use fonts that are not too large. The bulk of the document (particularly, each episode's description) is generated using the Epson's Roman font set to a horizontal pitch of 15 characters per inch. The episode titles and stardate are printed in Roman 12 cpi. The page header is in Sans Serif 12 cpi double-high. The entire document is printed with a standard vertical pitch of 6 lines per inch. ** FONTS The episode description text is printed at a smaller size by using the "small" font attribute (selected via the Font [Ctrl-F8]|Size|Small command. By default, this is 80% the size of the normal font used by WordPerfect. If your "small" font is too large, you must select a smaller printer font. Do not attempt to replace the [SMALL] [small] print codes; that is too difficult. You can easily alter what WordPerfect interprets as small by using one command: Setup [Shift-F1]|Initial Settings|Print Options|Size Attribute Ratios... ** CLOSING If you have any trouble with this document, leave me a note on Canada Remote Systems or write to: Blake Nancarrow 2409 Yonge Street, Apt. # 4 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth M4P 2E7 Revised: 18 April 1992.
