Hi. :)
I have a folder of .tif files that I want to convert to .gif format. I think
I've done this before with PhotoShop, but today, I can't find the options
I'm looking for. I found a way to convert them to .jpg, but not .gif.
Anybody know how to do this?
Thanks!
Not sure which version of PhotoShop you are using, but in version 7, you
would use File=Automate and set your destination to Save As filename.GIF.

Web forums are tough to get rolling. They usually see a ton of

despite what many people say (make the info available and I'll go get

What is your opinion on this, and why?
Number tables and figures using the same series, identify both as
figures.
Thus:
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Figure 4
Figure 5
Figure 6
Rather than
Figure 1
Table 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Table 2
Figure 4
And then, combining the LOF and LOT into one LOF.

I don't number them at all and don't use LOF/LOTs. I target info to
concise topics as much as possible, so I rarely have more than one
figure or table in a topic. I can then reference the topic as needed
if there's an image or table that the user needs to look at.

I have observed our users use the TOC, very occasionally the IX, mostly
they flip through, I have never seen them look at the LOF or LOT. If
they need content, the readers don't automatically know there's a table

It's a curse. :-) Yelling out typos seen while driving is one of my worst

Someone else said to correct it with a red pen and use it in your office
anyway. I'd say that you go could that route or you could correct it in a
less obvious manner, if the mistake can be corrected so, and then you could
wait and see if anyone ever says anything. And then when someone does say
I number figures and tables when there are more than about half a dozen, and
when there is a likelihood that readers will want to find specific

I think we can put this down to something more fundamental -- not
knowing your audience. Minimalism need not enter the explanation.

I think it's a case of Canon not wanting to hire technical writers. It
