Excellent idea to gather these in one place. Very useful, Caleb -- thanks indeed!
Thanks Paul! Been enjoying your Centauri Dreams posts immensely, espec. the recent ones on New Horizons/Voyager.
Only a litle remark. To prevent all your struggle with software and to produce hyperlinked typrographically well set documents, please have a look on LaTeX. The learning curve is a bit steep in the beginning but in the end in my opinion, it's the best solution for your sort of problem.
And sorry, I should have said it first. But I also enjoyed reading your series a lot. Well done!
7B8 yes you're absolutely right LaTeX would do the trick and is a marvelous tool (heck, I wrote a textbook in it!). My problem was that Word 2011 on the Mac does not use the Adobe bits and pieces necessary to output PDF with active hyperlinks...which I thought was a pretty astonishing omission. Glad you've enjoyed the posts, thanks!
