@wizard Did I get it all in? We can revise any time when some information needs to be added or we find better ways of explaining how to get things working.

Looks good for Single Click Or Double Click

Thanks for working on the project. Would be great if Puppy was also known as the easiest Linux to adopt.

@wizard Would it be possible to redo this page as a PDF converted to JPG? It looks pretty good in the image style. Need to see how they work compared to the earlier pages on different size windows and resolution.

@rockedge

Try this.

edit: pdf removed, see first post

Just a thougth: in jpeg images it is not possible to select text and translate it nor the entire page...

(translation done with min right click option...)

[rockedge]

@HerrBert That is an excellent point. We must convert the pages into html from pdf or into text and format the posts manually. We can not use the jpeg images in this style.

These are being created with Libreoffice Writer in .doc format. I can upload that which should be easier to manipulate both the text and images. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

@wizard Let's try the .doc format. I think I can work something out.

@rockedge

Ok, try this, .doc in first post. If you open in LO Writer, you can right click an image, then choose Copy, then paste somewhere. You can also right click and choose Save, then save the image out to a file. Let me know if you want the other PDF's as .doc.

Thanks
