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.
I myself don't use drag and drop editing, but good software caters to a
variety of user needs (as I've said to a thousand SMEs!). Other tech
writing tools allow you to drag and drop text and graphics. Maybe it
would be too expensive or difficult for FM's developers to add that
feature, but why dismiss it out of hand?
