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 don't recall. I always managed eventually to get the results I
wanted (sometimes after trying several different stencils), it just
took longer than in programs where the non-smart objects would go
wherever I wanted them.
At a previous job I used the UML stencil to create UML diagrams, as it
was intended, and that was pretty sweet.
