 By sheer numbers (popularity), it would have to be Word. But what's most
popular doesn't really tell you anything about which program is actually the

I think there are other factors to consider, too. What is the final output?
Is it just print (or PDF)? What about for online use, such as in online
help?

I think for pure *writing*, Microsoft Word is the most prevalent. For
desktop publishing, you'll find that the Frame Freaks think Framemaker is
most popular (to whom I say pt! I can make Word do anything you can
make Framemaker do! grin).

And for single-sourcing print and online help, I think you'll find that
there is a wide variety of tools in use and most folks will fight over the
definition of popular! grin

[TCP] PDF links all over the place...

2007-07-16 Thread Al Geist
I just created a PDF from a Word document (Acrobat 6.0 and Word 2003). The
Word internal cross-references start out okay (the first two chapters are
fine), then they pop up all over the place, sometimes even two pages away
from where they should be. I've tried the same set up on another system and
ended up with the same results. I don't want to recreate all the
cross-references (book is 271 pages), but I'm all out of ideas (not that I
had a lot to begin with).

 

If I had my druthers, I'd use something else than Word (FrameMaker,
InDesign, etc.), but it's what I'm stuck with.

 

Other parameters are (Windows XP Professional, a gig of RAM (both systems),
20+ gigs of HD space left.

 

The cross-references work correctly in the Word source file. I've reloaded
both Acrobat and Office 2003, but still have the same problem.

This may seem like a simple question, but a colleague of mine has a very

How do you feel about screen captures in a software manual? Are they

Re: [TCP] Software Manual

 How do you feel about screen captures in a software manual? Are they
essential or can you do without them?

 Do you think online help can replace a software manual?

The answer to both questions is: it depends.  What is your product? Who
is your audience? What do they need?

I would not put out a software manual with no screenshots.  Screenshots
are essential for novice users, and helpful for non-English-speakers (or
just the functionally illiterate).

Online help can replace a software manual for some people, but not for
all.  Well-written online help is much better than a manual, but not
everyone will use it.

YMMV.

Re: [TCP] Software Manual

2007-07-16 Thread Brierley, Sean
It depends. 

How complex is the software? How complex does the user need to be? Etc.

For example, software needs installing and using. Should these be
documented in the same manual? Is this software used by pHD geneticists
in their search for a cancer cure? If so, do we need to document
algorithms, formulae, approaches, etc? Where should that go? Does the
software have a variety of complex engineering uses such that tutorials
or lessons would be a significant benefit? Where do those go? Is this
veteran software with known issues such that a troubleshooting section
is available? Or, is this a very small and simple VBA application or
game that doesn't do a heckuva lot?

And so on and so forth ad infinitum.

Cheers,

Sean

P.S. In general, I include screen captures in the printed docs when they
clarify a set of instructions, to help visual learners. The screen
captures must reflect what the software looks like, what the document is
on about, and realistic settings that make sense. In general, I avoid
putting screen captures in the online help because I assume the user
already has the software open and doesn't need a picture of the dialog
box they are already looking at and because graphics add size.

Remember, too, that the results may be skewed towards online help authors.
As WritersUA started out as WinWriters (as in Windows online help people),
and still has a large demographic of online help authors (versus those who
create print oer PDF only).

So I would hesitate to use these survey results as statistically significant
unless you also produce print and online help.
