@adzling This is what I do. I could very well be missing a feature or overlooking a better process. You can review a topic and specific snippets of that topic in player view, which works very well. But I understand your criticism to be that I we can't display a snippet's contents independent from the topic. I believe that the intention is that in those situtation, you are looking for a handout and would be better off using a Documents and Media snippet. That allows you to attach a PDF, RTF, or HTML (Complete) document, which you can open in player view and display in a separate window. You can also print such attached documents, though you have to open them externally in a separate application.

I think that what would be nice to have would be a new "handout" snippet type. It would basically be another text snippet, but one that could be displayed as an independent document in player view, but still viewable in-line with the rest of the topics contents (rather than having to replace the topic view to view it or having to display it in another tab, as is the case with the documents & media snippets).

There should also be an ability to print this snippet type. Actually, I would hope we could print the entire topic, but having a special printable handout snippet might be a good temporary compromise while LWD works out the IP challenges involved in a more full printing capability (though I think folks will just be printing from the Web view as the temporary compromise, post Content-Market release).

So, I understand where Adzling is coming from. It would be nice to be able to create handouts within the program itself, rather than having to create outside RW and attach a document.
