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.
Hi, all. Looking for some procedure opinions. I'm the sole techwriter for
a corp where I manage over 90 documents of varying complexity. At the
moment, they are 99% in Word. Many tech writers of varying expertise have
worked /h/a/c/k/e/d/ on these documents over the years (I just started here
a couple months ago and inherited this mess.)
Currently there is no consistent use of styles, templates, fonts or
structure. Ultimately, I want to convert everything to FrameMaker. Here's
my question:
Is it better to start converting to Frame right away, or would it be wiser
to get all of the Word documents consistent in style before starting the
conversion?
