RE: A Different Single Sourcing Question...

["Brierley, Sean" <Sean -at- Quodata -dot- Com>]

Depends:

If you are reusing half or more of your content, then single-sourcing is
probably worthwhile (you really have to figure the content reuse thing out
for yourself). If you use single-sourcing, you have to use a workflow that
adheres strictly to your templates and style guides. If you choose that
path, you can accomplish a single document that targets three versions of
your product using FrameMaker and FrameMaker's conditional text feature.

As for "master document," that is an MS Word feature with which I've had
little success. Maybe it's fixed for Word 2002?

HTH,

	I realize that there are different facets of single sourcing. I have
a
	dilemma, which I am hoping has been dealt with by others in this
group. My
	question is... Is there a way to create a master document, that I
can use to
	produce three different versions of the product, with the exception
of some
	of the terminology, and screen shots?

		If anyone has any idea and are willing to share the
process/procedure, I
	would be grateful.
