Why the balls can't they find someone to do a decent binding job? I'm on my third copy of SSH and the cover is almost completely off and the pages are falling out all over the place.
I'm converting the damn thing to Word. Bastards. |

Scanning to PDF is definitely my preferred method. OCR is always a pain.

In all honesty, I have two of them. I got a 100 sheet capacity one to start off with and it couldn't bind some of the things I needed it to so I got a 250 page one as well.
It will probably run you about $5.00 to $10.00 to have Kinko's do it, depending on what type of cover you want. Probably wouldn't save you any money, but if you send it to me I can bind it and send it back to you. If you buy the combs 100 at a time you can get them for like $0.03 each or so. Let me know.

It actually works out pretty sweet in Word... if you use headings and styles and crap, you can put in a little table of contents and Ctrl+Click where you want to go in the file. I <3 you, Microsoft.  |
