Michael,
I've been asked to write promotional materials for some products.

I believe that the Spec-Data format is the best place to start.

When I view the Spec-Data format that you posted, it looks great, just what I need,
When I try to download download your link I get a bunch of files that won't assemble into a single PDF.

I will try a copy/paste of what I see, but I'd really like to have a good PDF of the original document(s).

Thanks.

Ed,

Here are several newsletter I did on Product Data Sheets that may be helpful with some current examples:

and one Michael Chusid that that explores the problem:

Ed: My previous link was to a folder with two files. Here are the links to the individual files. If they still don't work, send me an email to michael@chusid.com and I will email the pdfs to you.

I would also like to see examples of your promo materials. Sometimes I get asked to do work that I can't accept due to schedule or conflicts of interest, and I may need to refer the work to others.

Colin & Michael,
Thanks for your help. What I'm really after is and example of the ream of Spec Data that I received quarterly from CSI in the 1980's. The part that I found most useful was "Limitations" (or Don't try this at home).

Michael, I would be doing this for some friends and working for "non-fungible" compensation such as a round of golf at a resort course. I retired and closed the business at the end of February 2020. I no longer maintain a business license and don't want to report any cash earnings.

All,
I am hoping someone could please reshare the document for ProductFormat. The links above are no longer working.

Thanks
