- ** 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 4¼ inches wide and 11 inches tall. This
- is achieved by folding normal 8½ 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...
