I got my tech ref manual a few weeks ago.... I agree that it is not worth
$20+shipping although I do admit to needing the info therin... The info in
the TECHREF.DOC file (or whatever it is called) is pretty much the same as
what I paid $20 for it turns out (gag) except that the manual from
Microsoft has a table of contents and an index (whoopee, eh?).

One other thing... I just saw the Word for Windows Tech Ref manual in a
local bookstore... The one I got from Microsoft by sending the coupon in a
photocopy in a three ring binder (poor quality paper, I might add). The
tech manual in the bookstore looks identical in material but is in a
paperback form...todd
