Subject:Documentation tools for large documents From:"Subash Babu" <subash_babu -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 22 Mar 2002 11:44:10 +0000
Hi All,
Our team has been using MS Word for our project documentation. We write
Requirements & Functional Specifications for each version of
the product.Due to version control and the co-existence of multiple
versions, the document size has increased so much that shipping them via
mail is now a painful job and we have had to use file splitters. Our
documents have use-case diagrams, screenshots, tables and call-outs. We use
the 'track changes' and 'add comments' features to record review comments
and incorporate them. Merging of such documents is also a probable
requirement.
Can anyone suggest any other documentation tool which can be used to
perform all the aforesaid functions without increasing the document size
substantially?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Subash Babu
Technical Writer,
