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.
I've been asked to help put together a proposal to reduce the amount of money we're spending to produce all of our paper documentation, including policy and procedure manuals, brochures, newsletters, and forms. I have a lot of questions, starting with forms design:
Do any of you design paper forms as part of your job?
What tools do you use? What is the best tool for the job? (We produce multi-part NCR forms, pre-printed with variable customer information.)
Have any of you heard of or used software called "Paris"? Can it be used to create documents other than forms?
Is there a separate discussion list for forms designers?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
