Now that cut-and-paste is being distributed via the ACS Network, it is time to develop a more web-friendly format. It's just nuts to have to click on a topic to take you to a page to link to a Word document to download the document, only to have to follow links in the document back to the ACS site. Please, PLEASE, put all the text that was in all the Word docs for one cut-and-paste release in a single html page. That way, we can see the topic summaries all on one page, no document downloads, and single-clicks from the cut-and-paste page to expanded info on any topic.
