From terry.smith at per-se.com Mon Feb 13 08:49:07 2006 From: terry.smith at per-se.com (Terry Smith) Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:49:07 -0700 Subject: Reminder: WIKIs and FrameMaker at lunch on Weds, Feb 15 Message-ID: The Trends and Technologies Local SIG is having a meeting that will be of interest to our FrameMaker group: Meeting: STC Carolina Trends & Technologies Local Special Interest Group (LSIG) Wed, Feb 15, 2006, 12 Noon to 1:00. Bring a brown bag lunch Location: Symantec Collaborative Content Development with Wikis In these times of telescoped deadlines, rapid application development, and increased off-shoring, it seems that subject matter experts have less time to review documents and writers have less time to author them. Documents are delivered and consumed at a lightning pace, but the methods for gathering the information necessary to write them are lagging. Wikis?in conjunction with scripts to convert to Wiki content to FrameMaker?are one way to accelerate the documentation process by shortening review and authoring cycles. This presentation shows how an implementation of MediaWiki has streamlined the documentation process for one product at a major software company. Speakers: Simon Bate: Simon has been working in technical documentation for more than 25 years. He specializes in developing software tools for document automation, document conversion, and help generation. Simon is currently employed by Symantec in Durham, NC. Greg Rakauskas: A technical writer for over sixteen years, Greg has had various positions with computer software companies that make database management systems, patient medical -Warmest regards, Terry Smith From terry.smith at per-se.com Mon Feb 13 08:57:26 2006 From: terry.smith at per-se.com (Terry Smith) Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:57:26 -0700 Subject: Shrinkwrap AS IS dll Message-ID: As discussed recently on Framers, there is a dll available that for "shrinkwrapping" the anchored frame so it has fits with exactly 1 point of space all around the graphic. If you use the shrinkwrap shortcut (esc-m-p) without this dll, then the graphic automatically becomes an inline graphic that smooshes into your paragraph. Usually, this is not what you want. The dll lets you shrinkwrap and keep your graphic placed where you had it instead of forcing inline. Executive summary: I requested this dll, so if anybody wants it, just send me a note.
