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.
Yes, people at our company have a clue. If you're implying that I don't, then I obviously didn't state my question accurately. I am looking for information regarding the use of software to create documentation that allows the user to click on portions of the manual and see different processes shown using AutoCAD models. I posted a follow up to this post later on. If you have anything constructive to add to the discussion, please feel free to contact me and the list. I'm sure we'd be interested in hearing what you have to say.

Subject: Re: Interactive documentation
What does your company mean by 'interactive documentation' ? Do they have a clue, or is this just someone's idea of earning brownie points by creating a 'buzzword' goal?

Our company is looking at creating interactive manuals to supplement our paper copies.
What experience do any of you have with this transition? What software do you use? What skill set do you hire for to execute these projects?
