Thanks,
Mark

Re: New help center
The new help center looks good. As helpful as a help center should be. Clear and straightforward. Well organized.
Notes:
Liked the glossary tool tips.

Re: New help center
Speaking with my user hat on (rather than my tech writer hat :-) ), a search feature that's available throughout the help center would (I hope) provide search results in context—similar to wiki

Re: New help center
A future search feature seems redundant.
When viewing HTML and also PDF (online) Ctrl/F give a fairly easy to use and comprehensive search facility.

1. Section 26.3 Bounce, bouncing
Consider also

Re: Additional Suggestions
I don't understand your suggestions. I see no need for the blurb. The questions you asked are answered elsewhere and the document is correct as is. BTW, the answers are No and Yes.

Re: Overall style points
Mark,
I haven't really paid attention to that, but Nina's earlier reply to me made me wince:
It implies to me manual insertion of page breaks, and that never ends well.
