Guys,  

   

Several of you have been talking about writing your Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). I write many user guides, booklets and fliers in my business. I use a relatively inexpensive program called Clickbook, by Blue Squirrel: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/clickbook/ . It installs a special printer in Windows. When you print a document to it, a window pops up. There you can select a variety of print formats. My favorite format reduces the document page, rearranges the pages and prints two pages side-by-side on a landscape paper on your regular printer. This allows you to fold the paper in half and have an 8-1/2 inch tall by 5-1/2 inch wide little booklet from a document written as an 8-1/2 by 11. I usually write my documents at 14 point so when reduced it looks close to 12 point (the document is reduced by about 2 points). The program also shows you how to print on both sides of the page using a “one side per page” printer. Print a cover using thick photo paper, fold the pages and staple and you have a very professional looking booklet. It also won’t take up a great deal of space in the cockpit. I plan to use it for my engine and airframe maintenance logbooks too.  

   

You’re building a beautiful aircraft; make your documentation look good too!

 FinePrint is a similar program. It will do true  double-sided (duplex) printing on a "side at a time" printer. It is also a  printer driver: www.fineprint.com/
