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.
There's also an excellent $20 utility, the TechTav1 macro
suite, which you can download at www.tech-tav.com. (You can
download and try before you buy.) It allows you to make
cross-references across multiple files, to number sequentially
across multiple files, and a bunch of other goodies. It also
contains documentation on how to use RD fields and sequence fields.
