By popular demand from the gang at the PageMaker Listserv this scanning FAQ is being made available as an HTML document. I want to take this opportunity to thank a number of people who have made this work possible and I will merely name them in no certain order: Peter Fink, Jerry Griffies, Henry Budgett, Geof Peters, Cindy Stone, Jeff Needleman, Chris Warnock, Stephen Keith, Ken Sloan. These individuals and the companies and institutions that they represent have been instrumental in both my work on this document and encouragement to complete it.
