You don't mention what format your help docs are produced in, but the 
implication is that it's PDF - I'd be inclined to encourage the typo-finder to 
copy & paste the offending section into an e-mail & fire it off to you for it 
to be fixed; that sounds like the quickest way. 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.

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).

Thanks

Jack DeLand
