Subject:The case against M$ Word From:"Chris Morton" <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:53:15 -0700
I'm preparing an executive summary as to why M$ Word is not an adequate tool
for software manual production and why Adobe InDesign is a superior choice
for the task at hand. (FrameMaker is more than this company needs.)
Just a few weeks ago I participated in a thread whereby a techwr-l newbie
inquired about the tools of the trade. In that thread, there were many
reasons given why Word is insufficient. Can someone please point me to that
thread, or others that support my view?
Thanks
