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.
Visio has the VB editor. You're going to have to create predefined processes
for each tool, then macro this out into some type of wizard that will call
the templates and populate variable inserts.
With what you have as far as tools, nothing will do this "out of the box",
unless Demoshield will do it...that's the only application I'm not up to
speed on.

never were; and I say "Why not?"
