That's my point.
Using the grid feature is alright in its situation (which is even why I took the time to discuss its use) but most of the time it just doesn't seem necessary at all to do so when doing it by hand assures its use. I'll just leave it up to the preference of whoever reads it.

Either way, you've clearly spent some time on this and I'm really happy to see this kind of effort being put fourth in our community.

Thanks tig. I spent at least a week on and off the document, and because of your helpful criticism I may go over and revise it sometime. The reason towards my graphics comment mainly is that I was also speaking mostly out of my own experience towards the work. Your criticism doesn't go without its merit and I appreciate it.
I won't give up after releasing this, If I need to add more to it I will. Please do not forget to suggest to me what else I need to add, But do remember everyone this is made for beginners use.
I only forgot to mention I'm going to add new formats of the document up since I know not everyone likes .doc's
.txt and .pdf and whatever else I can do I guess
If anyone wants to add it to any other format please do so.
