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.
There are probably SW products out there that specifically address this
need. Lacking such a package, my first inclination would be to use
something like PageMaker. It might take a little setup work at first, but
you could fairly easily set up your graphics on RH pages, with text
continuing from LH page to LH page (or contained in an independent story on
each page, if you don't want it to flow any farther than that). We'll see
if anyone has a better suggestion, but this method at least would work.
Good luck!
