ANNOUNCE: Doc-To-Help 2007 v2 - New Version

The new release of Doc-To-Help 2007 v2 empowers you to create 
HTML or Microsoft Word content and convert it to virtually every 
popular Help file format (including browser-based, platform 
independent Help) or printed documentation. Doc-To-Help's unmatched 
flexibility allows you to configure Help systems in the editor of 
your choice. Integrated toolbars and dialogs in Microsoft Word, 
FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver allow you to visually create 
Help systems in the most powerful editors available while D2HML
(Doc-To-Help Markup Language) allows you to use any editor you wish. 
It also includes variables that allow you to manage content in one 
place for reuse across your project.  Doc-To-Help supports Windows 
Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System including seamless 
integration with Word 2007, as well as a Microsoft Sandcastle
utility that automatically creates MSDN formatted reference
documentation from .NET source code and XML comment files.

ANNOUNCE: New book on scientific editing

Subtleties of Scientific Style fills the gaps left by other style
guides and books on editing. Here, Matthew Stevens, an Australian

and many subtle tricks that can make a work more readable. 

Topics include:

* Achieving an editorial Gestalt
* Common errors-danglers, fillers, misapplied modifiers, 
  shortcuts
* Errors of reasoning-begging the question, teleology, size 
  comparisons
* Expression-first-person science, order of events, parallel 
  narratives
* Tricky terms-applied, based on, due to, respectively

The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list

or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
