SnagIt - the Swiss Army Knife of Software

Dan the technical writer went to lunch with a couple of friends. Soon
enough, the conversation turned to work.

"How is it that you left early last night, Dan?" Rick asked. I thought
you had this big project to do."

"I used SnagIt - the leading screen capture software. I used it to
capture exactly what I needed, edited it within the same program, used the
various effects, and saved it in whatever file format I wanted," Dan
explained.

"Ha - you could just use the Print Screen key," his friend Matt
interjected.

"You must not have been listening," Dan said, his voice raising with each
word. "Comparing those two is like comparing a unicycle to a motorcycle
... a jack knife to a chainsaw ... a piece of bread to a club sandwich
plus fries!"

The waitress came over to see about the commotion. They all ordered club
sandwiches.

"See?" Dan said. "Everyone wants all the fixins' - and that's why I use
SnagIt. Region, Object, Scrolling Windows ... ham, bacon, cheese -"

"We get the analogy," Matt said. "Now tell me more about this SnagIt!"

Dan talked happily away, knowing that soon their hunger for food and for
great software would be satisfied.

DID YOU KNOW? Check out the Employment and Calendar pages at TECHWR-L!

I was a member of the TECHWR-L community for almost four years before I
put on the administrator hat last month. As I learn the ropes of all that
hat entails, I?ve learned about some TECHWR-L resources that I didn?t know
existed. I figure I can't be the only person who didn?t know about
TECHWR-L?s Employment Services
(http://www.techwr-l.com/ct.php?link=http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/employment)


and Calendar
(http://www.techwr-l.com/ct.php?link=http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/calendar/)


pages, so I'd like to tell you about them now. (Read the full story at

Reducing the Costs of Translation through Reuse - Webinar

Are you grappling with translation issues and expenses? Could 25% percent
or more of the content you create be reused across media (Web, Print and
Help) or across document types (marketing, training, documentation,
support)?

Organizations that translate their content have realized a 25-270% return
on investment after adopting a reuse strategy supported by single source
content management.

Join Ann Rockley (The Rockley Group) and Paul Trotter (CEO, AuthorIT
Software) to discuss:

* What is reuse
* How you can identify the opportunities for reuse
* How translation is supported by a reuse strategy
* How a reuse strategy optimizes memory translation tools
* How to calculate ROI based on reuse
* How to support reuse and translation using single source content
management

A case study detailing a single source translation management project at a
large multinational organization will also be included in the
presentation.
