Default Short-Cut

An easy way to create your diagram document is to start at the Air Cleaner, simply use your mouse to right-click on the diagram. A meny pops up, click Copy. Then open a Microsoft program, any of the Office programs will work - I personally use MS Word - position your cursor and either right-click again and select Paste or use the Paste button in the top toolbar. The graphic does come out pretty sharp (unless you blow it up a lot). Then I go back to the Kawasaki page, drag to select the whole parts description table and copy. Go back to the working document, position cursor below the diagram (you may have to hit enter to create the next line), and now click Edit on top toolbar, select Paste Special, then select Unformatted Text. Using Unformatted Text instead of just pasting gives you all the text but without the table, which can be a pain to use and modify. Instead the info is pasted using tab spaces. You may want to "clean" it up a bit to get the one-line for each part.

I just went down through the entire library one-by-one, and ended up with a fairly comprehensive manual. Also, another website that has free-ware for creating PDF documents is pdf 995: create PDF documents easily for free. The disadvantage is when you create the PDF, their website pops up - just close that window and your good to go. PDF995.com is a clean site, in other words, they don't download anything objectional to your PC.

Anyway, just thought I'd share the right-click shortcut.
