Subject:What documentation tool? From:Tommy Green <tgreen -at- AESBUS -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 5 Feb 1999 09:30:41 -0600
What software we use depends on the size and nature of the docs. Small
(less than 500 pages) manuals, we use word97 with special-made
(proprietorial) templates. For installation posters, we use PageMaker (with
word). For the CAD, we have a CAD department that uses ProE and Photoshop.
To convert to electronic, we use Acrobat Exchange and Robohelp. Large docs,
we would use FrameMaker.
I started with nothing and I still have most of it left.
