I seem to have made a rather hasty offer in passing to the head of our
training team. He raved over the User Guide I'd produced so far (the PDF
version) and said he was "plagarizing" content for training. I offered to
provide the book in a Word format, presuming that it would be easier to copy
and format content from a Word file than from a PDF file.
It's not a critical need; I was just thinking I might be able to make a
co-worker's life a little easier. I doubt there's a budget (or a desire) to
purchase a third-party solution for such a non-critical task.
thx,
