Captivate User Group?

2009-10-28 Thread Barry.Kieffer
Is there a group like this just for Captivate?

Like so many tech writers, I am asked at times to create tutorials and 
training materials.

I have learned so much just monitoring this list, a captivate list would 
be the bees knees.

Re: Any advantage to upgrade-FM7.2 to FM9?

2009-09-30 Thread Barry.Kieffer
I hope there is!

It took a long time for me to convince my (engineering) manager to upgrade 
me from FrameMaker 7.2 (and RoboHelp 6) to Technical Communication Suite 
2. 

Should have it in a few weeks.

Re: Frame Maker 9 and some questions about its indexing and page limits

2009-08-04 Thread Barry.Kieffer
The real problem with this is if you move all of your boxes and pods to 
the second monitor, and someone borrows your second monitor when you are 
in the rest room, when you get back you no longer have any FrameMaker 9 
controls.
 



 Finally, does anyone with FM use two screens? I am unhappy with all 
these 
 boxes and pods in FM9 and would like them all on a second screen (which 
I 
 would have to buy). I have not learnt how to dock them yet. Any hints 
 gratefully received.

RE: Technical Writing Certificate






None of the technical writing certificates that I know about are worth
the investment. To evaluate a certificate, investigate how widely it is
used by those in the field, and by those hiring in the field.

IMHO, the better approach is a technical writing degree, even an
associate's degree has more value than a testing certificate. The
problem with a tech writing degree is finding an accredited educational
institution with a well-developed curriculum. I have been associated
with the tech trade over 30 years and I cannot think of any...Kelly.

Hello Framers:

Would someone please recommend a couple of online certificate programs
that I can take to become a technical writer?

What is the best online writing course available?? 

Thanks from a Newbie!
