Not in my single-sourcing world - it's write once, publish to many [output formats that is]

I have yet to single-source all these thousands of pages (lone writer here). I think e-mail is the most sensible thing to do.

The other alternative is to use the commenting/review feature in PDFs to have them add their 2 cents worth and fire back the whole thing for you to import back into FM. ________________________________ From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of jackdel...@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 8:59 AM To: framers Subject: Minor typos and the QA guy/scrummaster Hello, Framers - My QA guy has a problem with chasing minor typos in our docs: it takes longer to document the typo than it does to fix it. He wants a solution that bypasses the need for FrameMaker, and has read an article that says Word 2013 will allow editing of PDFs in native format. He wants the developers to be able to do this to my docs. I've explained all the many problems with using Word, but he is still searching for an answer, which means I am too. What is your solution to the problem he sees? To me, it should be a non-problem, i.e., typos should not exist anyway, and the developers should not be allowed anywhere near my "source", but the reality is that he has more say in it than I (he is also scrummaster).
