It looks quite useable and if you have something like CutePDF installed you can could just print it to a PDF and have it printed out at your local print shop and save your ink cartridges. Remove any copyright notices though as some places can be a pain in the arse about that.
The official forums are down so the usual chain reaction of servers going down is going on so there’s not any news not that there seemed to be a lot when I was able to glance through them. Things are slowing up definitely as people get more familiar with the rules, the initial flux of “Oh this is missing, I have to add it.” content folks have gotten what they wanted made and in general things are just a little slower.
I’ve got Adobe InDesign installed, the company has extra licenses actually and they didn’t have a problem with me using one with the caveat that if they ever need it back I give it up. Being in such a large company you can sometimes get perks like that but you also have a lot more stringent policies on licensing. And as I’m one of the ones that has to enforce things like that among other things I really shouldn’t be one of the ones breaking the rules.
I mention this because it’s so ungodly nice using a real page layout program. I was getting just so incredibly frustrated with Word since I’ve been a casual user of Quark and Pagemaker among other layout programs. I started with an awesome layout program back in 85/86 or so on a Commodore Amiga that put the current iteration of Pagemaker at the time to shame. It could print high res output on a flipping dot matrix printer. Although it did use up a ribbon pretty quickly.
So now I’ve transferred my labor of painful effort on Word 03 and 07 to InDesign and am working on a premie module.
