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.
First thing you do is hie yourself onto the Word-PC list. Not that the
answers aren't here too, but this is one case where a tools list is going to
be the right thing for you, I can tell. You'll recognize a lot of familiar
techwrler faces, don't worry. Almost never very busy, quite well behaved,
and you will pretty much always get good answers. And it really is all Word
all the time. :)
Speaking of which, I'll see about answering this in detail in another email,
off list, if that's ok with everyone :)
