The list of tables is there mate. What I suggested is appart from having the list and the tables inside the document we can also group them together in an appendix in the end. That way if someone wants to get some information he will not have to search through the manual. I just feel it's easier that way. The idea of this appendix will be (in my opinion) to save people from using the whole manual as they play the game. What I mean is that the user will read the manual to start with. Then if he needs some information he doesn't have to go and search in the relevant chapter again, as he knows more or less what the information contains. What he needs (usually) is a number, that's why he needs to look at a table or something. So by looking at the appendix (or even making an extra copy of it as a stand alone document) the user can save a lot of time while gathering the information he needs.

As I said before, it's just a suggestion

Hi!

OK, it sounds like you are looking for a way to quickly look up something in the manual without having to read or page all the way through the manual.

Each line of the Table of Contents and the GWX Tables section should be a hyperlink to the section of the document to which it refers. If you are using the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the document then you should be able to left-mouse-click on any line in the table of contents (TOC) or the GWX Tables in pages i through vi to be taken directly to the section or table to which the line in the TOC or GWX Tables section refers. If this is not working for you please let me know and we will fix it ASAP.

Thanks!

Pablo

Pablo don't get me wrong. The hyperlinks do work for me fine. What I was suggesting was a way to check the manual in a paper form and not only on-line. That way people can actually use it while playing the game. Anyhow it was just a suggestion mate. The important thing is that the manual rocks

Hi!

No problem so far, I'm just trying to make sure I understand your request.

OK, so it sounds like you're looking for an index that lists the key (whatever) and the page(s) on which it's found that you can reference off-line if you are using a paper copy of the manual. Is that correct?
