Cut & Paste Rules.......

And I do buy the rulebooks. My IAABO dues get me the rulebook, casebook and manual every year, Mr. Smartypants.

Now boys, that's quite enough of the name-calling.

Actually, I've been in their rules section, and it is possible to do the Copy and Paste functions that Chuck mentions. But what makes it not very useful is how it set up. First, you bring up a window that shows the rules sections. Then you click on the rule you want to look at (like say, for example, Rule 9 - Violations and Penalties, so you can look up whether a player can soccer-kick a ball from OOB...), then you have to click on each section under that rule, and so on, until you get to the sentence or paragraph. If that's not the section you want, you then go back to the previous sections and try another. You would spend a lot of time copying more than one section. The books are DEFINITELY easier to read and navigate.

Now Chuck, I realize the rule book and case book come out every year, but how do you manage to get the manual every year as well? Mine only comes every other year. So how do you rate, Mr. Know-It-All?
