Re: Consistent & Variable Information

["Dave Murray" <davemurray -at- attbi -dot- com>]

I had a similar situation when worked for a company that made the same
product for several operating systems.

We created special paragraph tags and used side heads in the FrameMaker
document to mark the OS-specific information.  Each OS would have a
different paragraph tag with the OS name as an AutoNumber. The tag would be
placed in the side head next to the relevant procedure, so the user could
quickly scan down the page and find the correct spot.
 
It looked something like this:
 
Windows	XXXXXXX 

Unix 		XXXXXXX
 
 
Hope this helps,
 
Dave Murray
