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 "pfffft! 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> ...sue On 7/16/07, Israel venture4 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What is the most popular program in the U.S.A. for technical writing? > > > Israel Ivri ????? ???? > > 3G Cellular: +972 54 6358521 > Telephone: +972 3 635-8536 > > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Israel ????? > > ______________________________________________ > > Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help. > New release adds Team Authoring Support, enhanced Web-based help > technology and PDF output.
