I recently posted a spreadsheet (excel 5) on the WINSDK, WinHelp forum on
CompuServe that helps you
determine how much writing time you need for an online project. The book
"Developing Online Help for
Windows" comes with a disk that includes a budgeting/scheduling spreadsheet
(Excel, again). To get this
book, call Joe Welinske at 206.285-2803.
