Well, I've narrowed down the pics to ones that are useable. Now, I have a problem with "How the heck do I get them inserted into the text?". I'm a big Gomer when it comes to doing stuff like this. I want to do this like you would see in any other manual, with the text here, and the pic next to it.("See fig. 1") I've tried to do stuff like this afore, but it jes don't come out correct.
Any suggestions on a particular software program? I have "Works", but not "Word", on my 'puter(which, by the way, is still in the "shop" ).
Also, this is likely gonna be a fairly LONG read(over 70 pics, alone). Would it be best to do it in sections, or all at once? A little guidance would be most appreciated. Adams' Apple38742.8582407407

I just happen to have a '78 'Vette in the shop now, and I took the time to take a few(75+) pics of it in various stages. What I have is for a 350 trans, but youse guys with the 350C(lock-up) would use the same basic info.(I can also do a 400, or 700, if need be)

So, how 'bout it C3VR'ers?! Is it something that ya'll would be interested in

Well, you just might get my '69 Muncie in a couple of weeks to overhaul ....not sure yet, but if so you could shoot some pics of that. Must have it back before June. I can help with editing.

Gee, Mick, I don't know........that's not much time to do it.....

Adam, WORD does this sort of stuff pretty well and
without too much learning curve, which will leave
you with a finished .DOC file just great. But I am
not too sure how that .DOC file would then get
translated into HTML for posting on the site ???
(which I presume has to be done ?) **Help** you
webbies out there !!!

WORD has a pretty nifty feature where you can just
"insert" a "box" anywhere you like in a bunch of text
and the text will automatically "wrap" around it. You
can then shift / resize this "box" and the text will
just move automatically to suit. Any picture can be
inserted into these "boxes," so long as it is a .JPG
format picture. (WORD will handle a few other picture
formats as well)

Well, guyz-n-galz...I started this project up again a few days ago(the trans thing), but I still don't know how it's gonna look as a finished product. I can't seem to get the pics on the page large enough to be useful, and still have any room for text!
The experiment continues...I need ideas...should this be something that can be printed out as a "booklet", or a text file with "see photo #100" on a disc? I'm gettin discouraged...

I do now have all the "MS Office" programs, with "Word", etc. It just looks like the pics will have to be almost half to full-page size to be able to see them clearly enough to be usefull. And this is with close-ups!

You could use the technique for displaying large pictures here in the threads. Have a smaller picture be a hot link to a larger one.

I am installing a complete power steering on my '71 in a couple of weeks.  It  has never had powere steeing to my knowledge.  Should be interesting. I will try to document it with pics and add it here.

Joel, as the owner of a '78 with a TH350, I can't wait for this 'tutorpictorial' to be ready...(and then I can send you the trans for repair when I'm done messin' with it.....)

hmmm...come to think of it, actually a very clever ploy on your part
