TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Speaking of tools... Depending on how things go in the next day or two, I
may find myself having to come up on Framemaker pretty quick. I've looked
in the archives, but there's simply too much to sort through.
I've used other DTPs like Ventura and Quark but not in quite a while. (I've
been making Word sing and dance for just about ever.) But I've only spent
about 10 minutes with a Frame demo, once, and it was surprisingly
intimidating to me. Does anyone who's made the transition from Word to
Frame have any tricks for reducing the number of rocks on the learning
curve?
I'm not interested in Tool Wars. I just want to spend as little time
swearing as possible. The shop I may be going into had no trouble with my
lack of experience on this particular tool. I didn't mis-represent my
ability. They just accepted my "tools is tools" attitude without batting an
eye, bless their corporate hearts. Any advice on or off list would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Maggie Secara
Oh and yes, The Elizabethan World is still at http://ren.dm.net
BTW: If anyone here has had contact with Parasoft in Monrovia, CA, would you
please contact me off-list ASAP? If I could also get input on TetraTech
(Pasadena CA) offlist, I'd be grateful. OFFLIST ONLY FOR GODSSAKE!
