Hey all. I have a question for you. I am working on a style guide for
my department. In Microsoft Word I have the styles listed in a table,
with a column for when each stlye should be used and a column describing
each style's attributes. Another tech writer in my department suggested
that I make a sample document, using each style, and use call outs to
show how the styles are used and what each style should look like. This
document, along with the styles would be placed on our department web
page. My question to you all is what program would be useful for this
sort of thing, adding the callouts, that could easily be converted to a
pdf for placement on our web page? Any suggestions, comments? Has
anyone tried this sort of thing before? Is it even possible? Any help,
comments, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.
