Hi Whirlers, Do you "uninstall" software or do you "remove" software? Which term would you use in a procedure? We've been seeing "uninstall" for years, but on the other hand I'm so used to seeing "remove" from the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" option in...

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Adobe has a "clean script" for those having registration or installation problem with CS4. Unfortunately, you'll have to deactivate, uninstall and reinstall CS4 to see if that solves the problem. http://www....

...and now I find I cannot even load the PM 7.0 trial version on my system. CS4 clearly has to be blocking access to PM installation. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use Doc-To-Help's XML-based editor, Microsoft Word, or HTML and ...

I should clarify -- it's not users still using it that I find weird. I use several applications that are 10+ years old -- if it serves your needs and it's paid for ... I'm just amazed that Adobe is still milking that relic for revenue. And unlike what Core...

When I read that, my first reaction was, "That can't be right." But, by golly, it is. For $500, you can still buy PageMaker 7: http://www.adobe.com/products/pagemaker/ I believe that release is 8 or 9 years old. Heck, the FAQ announcing the end of life fo...

Probably because Creative Design Premium includes InDesign-which replaced PageMaker years ago. I was able to open old PageMaker files in CS3, but I have not tried it in CS4. Good luck Connie Giordano -----Original Message----- From: techwr-l-bounces+connie...

Well, I don't seriously expect that kind of frenzy again in my (employable) lifetime. But the biz-news commentators are noting that a lot of companies that had let inventory get low over the past year-and-a-bit are in the process of re-engaging, so supplie...

OK, specifically, now... I make "preliminary" - otherwise known as 'Beta' - documentation available, by strange coincidence, whenever we have a Beta delivery leading up to a new product or new release of existing product. In the past, we didn't do Betas a...

Anyway, a lot of construction and renovation projects are being scrambled in order to get 'em done before the new tax hits. Again/still, there are not enough skilled trades peope to go around. Nothing like that happening for techwriters, though. Not sure w...

Does this mean I've only worked for stupid companies? One of last times I was a FTE (so long ago) or at another, contracting for a "huge" project with no end in sight (slightly more recently) the companies drank lye by mistake. I've even been the one who ...

A candidate's past employment history speaks volumes in that regard. Some FTEs move from job to job when the market is good, in order to broaden their resumes. Other FTEs find a friendly, interesting gig and stick with it for the long haul, regardless of o...

Larger issue that this addresses to me is being misunderstood in an interview, whether with HR or someone else toward the front end of the process, and feeling like Josef K. from "The Trial." Years ago I used to have a section on my resume with legacy tool...
