Having followed this growing thread, all should consider that Top Spin has
no foreseeable plans to commercially publish this work, and that he has
existing document(s) in a form suitable to his budget and expertise.
Should the need arise, he would be able to produce a .pdf file which would
be a safer hand-off format given the nature of his graphic files and build.
It would seem that TS is creating that which he needs without obstacles,
organizing his graphics, attentive to the file types supported in each
application. Word and MSPub, with their limitations, are streamlined enough
to create a black & white document without frills.
TS, keep working in what works for you, should you ever need to write a file
suitable for commercial print, up to 5 free .pdf file can be written using
the links below.
