PRINTOUT ASSISTANCE:
All GTS files are intended for customer printout for easy reference. If you encounter difficulties, consider the following.
General information is usually in paragraph format and should wrap when
printed. Most product lists are columnar or tabular. The column
listings should wrap but may be lengthy. To more compactly view on
screen or in printout try selecting from you WEB browser "View, Text
size, Smaller (or Smallest)". This will present more copy per page.
Also, more copy per page will be printed by selecting "File, Page
setup, Margins" and reducing the four margins. If the tables do not
print full width (the right edge is lost), select "File, Page setup,
Landscape" to provide wider paper.
If combining these layout changes does not result in useful reference copies, let us know.
