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.
Okay, to be more specific, we're looking for a tool that
offers the following features *without* us having to
program these features into the tool ourselves (which
a number of people have suggested):
- master pages
- ability to reliably apply different master pages in one
document
- more sophisticated and reliable style sheets (we want
to get away from inherited style attributes)
- conditional text, or something similar
- more reliable variables
- more reliable cross-referencing
- stronger integration (exporting, importing) with Adobe
products
We can live without conditional text, but the other features
are required.
Thanks,
Rowena

Word that is causing problems? What formatting issues?
What template
needs?
