Mike Huber said: "Composing directly into DTP is one of the
basic ideas of modern technical writing."
Then George Hayhoe said: "I respectfully disagree..." Then he said a lot of
other neat stuff and said it really well, including: "All of these
activities should influence what and how I write, and they MUST be
coordinated to ensure effective communication. That's a far cry from having
to perform all of those activities--or from implying that I can't write a
quality publication without composing in the page layout program." and then
some other neat stuff.
Let me apologize in advance, because I know that we're not supposed to post
a message just to say me too, but . . .
Me too, George.
