OK,

We are all, to some degree, covered by the wonderful umbrella of Technical
Writer...many of us have other responsibilities and areas of their work
which call for more time and effort. I am such a person.

However, I would really like to 'brush up' my writing skills, I have never
been trained for this kind of thing, but have got by..

What I need now, is help, from fellow professionals.

I need to find good resources for our profession. Be it books, web sites,
training courses, lectures, or night classes, I need them.

Most of the work I do is Windows based, although we are increasingly being
pulled into cross-platform development.

I am based in Scotland (Glasgow), so if you are recommending courses please
bear this in mind. My employer will not fly me to America, for a training
course (but if it is good enough I can get down to England...)

I await your reponses with baited breath and an open postbox.

Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated.

Yours,

Gordon

P.S. Re: Frame 6.0 suggestions - how about just getting it to be more
customisable (having to tweak settings EVERY time you start a new document
is VERY annoying)
