To those in favour of epub format.

Please convert the present study design document to epub format and then let 
the rest of us check it out.

Jarrod,

I have just converted some documents to epubs using Indesign cs5.5. It takes 
a bit to get used to, but has major benefits. Also, you have to take into 
account scaling of images/tables and the fact that the entire document 
flows, can be zoomed in/out and can look different on any e-reader. If you 
start by creating a CSS document to define all of the main settings, it 
makes it a lot easier in the long run. I don't see why they couldn't do this 
to the study design.

Cheers

Trav

Roland

VCAA would battle to convert the study designs to epub format, it was a 
nightmare for me to convert a standard word document with just words and 
headings. Throw in tables etc and it gets super ugly
