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.
For those who might be interested in the result of the post regarding an
editing on-screen alternative. Reader Craig Marley, Senior Technical
Communicator at Symix/CIT,
suggested the following about Re:mark, which my friend seems to think will
work:
>If your company is willing to spend the money you can do this with an
>Acrobat Exchange plug-in. I take it everyone must have their own Exchange
on their PC.

>Check out www.ambia.com and their Re:mark software. Also if you look at the

>will see that it will probably do exactly what you want!
My friend seemed to think that Re:mark could do at least
part of what he wanted. He said it doesn't work with Frame or Word, but it
will enable his site customers to view changes more easily (somehow--I
didn't ask for specifics). He was grateful for the response, and so am I.
Many, many thanks for suggesting it and also to the others who responded.
