OK, lets try this again!

Time and time again I see folks confronting the non-manifold monster. So instead of replying to the latest cry for help, I have written a detailed tutorial for fixing non-manifold issues with simple models. (Complex models may require another tutorial.)

Changed document to .PDF as per ]BaRT's suggestion.

Document:
http://www.wikkid-widgets.com/RepairingNon-manifoldmesheswit hBlender.pdf

Download Blender from:
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender

Please feel free to suggest changes.

Peace

I work here

Super interesting, but I can't open the file (I'm using OpenOffice). A better format would be PDF, could you try that?

Cheers,
