VB: framers Digest, Vol 115, Issue 12

2015-05-15 Thread Anna Lena Söderling

...except when it gives you a blank page that your don't want at the end of a document. When the table is not at the end of the document, it's pretty easy to see the separate flow that a footnote is in. Better to use the Space Below Table setting to space your tables from the text below. Craig

I've worked with varying degrees of agility including strict, by-the-book Scrum. Documentation *must* be loosely coupled and sometimes must follow one or more sprints after the development. My major example for why this is was an update to OpenLDAP that took the developer a few days to implement.

I wrote in Agile several years ago while at EMC. I liked it, most of the other writers hated it. Yes, sometimes I had to rewrite in a later iteration, but that's pretty much normal in any development environment. What I liked was being able to include document review at the end of each iteration

Well, one thing some of the contributors got wrong is that while Scrum is a proper noun, agile is not. Some of the articles are password-protected, the ones that aren't don't suggest that it would be worth paying the ripoff membership fees to get access. On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 10:31 AM, Stuart

Yes. Select Format Page Layout Apply Master Pages. This creates a new reference page named MasterPageMaps. Go to it, and you'll see a master page mapping table with no entries. In the Paragraph Tag Name column, enter ChapterTitle. In the appropriate master page column (right or left), enter

We don't use a pure Agile process, but I do find that Sales prefers a shorter time once the software is ready for release. I develop the documentation as software development progresses. I have to redo sections, but I can also get the documentation to them much more quickly at the end. YMMV.
