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.
> 1. I am interested in screen activity recording software for software
> demonstrations. Can anyone recommend any software which is stable and runs
> well on Windows XP (not sure at this stage if I need flash files or not)?
I recommend Qarbon ViewletBuilder. It has a free option if you don't
mind keeping your demo small (< 3MB) and if you don't mind having a
banner ad. The free option is good for out-of-work technical writers
to use to update their portoflios--ahem--and to show your company's
decision-makers what they will get if they decide to buy the software.
To see what I did with the free version, look here: http://www.viewletcentral.com/vc/viewlet.html?id=59042371

> PowerPoint slide organiser. I can't remember the name of the software
It is quite possible that you are thinking of ViewletCam, which is
also produced by Qarbon. It works with PowerPoint slides. I haven't
used it, myself, and cannot comment on how well it works.
