ITC Zapf Dingbats is NOT a font provided by either Microsoft as part of Windows or by Adobe as part of FrameMaker, Acrobat, or any other current product. You need to license it separately. - Dov > -Original Message- > From: J. Paul Kent > Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 4:29

Introducing Technical Writing, Tools, and Process to Teams in the Company

I would say this all depends you your audience and who you are making the documents for. Best start is to ask questions like you have done here. I did a presentation on FM a couple of years ago, really an introduction to FM where the audience was prospective writers and the heads of the departments

On Windoze, you will only get rgb, as I understand it. If you really need the CMYK, you have to do that in Illustrator and save it to eps (with special settings). So I guess you are using FM 7.1 for Windows. Either try to make a RGB color from start, or you will have to use Illustrator or somethin

Outsourcing: Was Reasons to Structure

I hope Gillian is correct. We currently have a few good writers in Pune, India, but several atrocious ones as well. I don't think we need to worry about China, but so far, the company I work for doesn't care. Maybe users will convince them that keeping the jobs in the U.S. is a good idea. Sean --

Friday brain-bender -- SHIFT + C doesn't work (sometimes)

2007-02-17 Thread Bernard Aschwanden
Have you installed any new software lately? I found that when I put a CMS tool onto my laptop I couldn't type the uppercase letter "F" anymore. The developers patched it, and now it works fine. If you have some software that is on your system only it may be something that is worth looking into.

I just noticed that my new PC doesn't have the Zapf Dingbats font I've been using to show arrows in my documents. These guides use an arrow in the text to show nested menu selections like "Tools->Language->Set Language." I guess I'm not committed for life to the arrows, but they've worked nicely to
