STORY: SnagIt makes the transition easier

Dan sighed as he checked his e-mail messages. It was always difficult to
return to work after a vacation.

However, an e-mail caught his eye. A newly hired boss wanted him to list
the work - in print, on the Web site, and offsite assignments - he had
completed over the year.

"For some," Dan thought as he began compiling his list, "this would be a
tedious task of switching between file folders to Word - and require
incessant typing and retyping. But I forestall that dreadfully wearisome
occurrence with SnagIt!"

Dan bet that most people didn't know that SnagIt's Text Capture mode
allows you to select the list of file names that appear in an opened file
folder. You can then output the directory list to the Clipboard, and paste
them in Word.

"Tada!" Dan exclaimed. Just like that, he had a list of file names in
editable text. He could now organize the text to make a comprehensive
file list.

Dan sighed again, but this time in perfect contentedness. Yes, it was
hard to see a vacation end - but what was he complaining about, when
SnagIt made work this satisfying?

ANNOUNCE: TECHWR-L Contributing Author Doug Isenberg
Publishes Internet Law Book

Join us in congratulating TECHWR-L contributing author
Doug Isenberg on his new book, _The GigaLaw Guide to
Internet Law_, Random House, October, 2002.

Doug notes that the book is especially relevant to
technical writers: "The book includes four chapters
on copyright law, which should be of particular
interest to technical writers. Those chapters cover
the fundamentals of copyright protection--including
such important issues as copyright registrations,
the 'fair use' doctrine, and 'works made for hire.'
The book also includes three chapters on contract
law, which should benefit technical writers who use
(or should use!) contracts with their clients."

A thorough, well-written book, _The GigaLaw Guide to
Internet Law_ covers a range of topics, including
copyright law, domain names, trademarks, patent law,
privacy, free speech and the first amendment, contract
law and high technology, and employment law.

TECHWR-L's Ask the Lawyer author, Doug is an attorney
practicing intellectual property and Internet law in
Atlanta and is the editor and publisher of GigaLaw.com,
a Web site that provides legal information for Internet
professionals, high-tech entrepreneurs, and the lawyers
who serve them. Doug is licensed to practice law in the
state of Georgia, speaks regularly on Internet law, and
has appeared on-air on CNN and National Public Radio
programming.

Congratulations, Doug!
