Okay, this is something I need for a few different things

[John Hedtke <john -at- hedtke -dot- com>]

I have been getting tired of tacking Post-It notes all over the place 
for my favorite techniques that aren't written up where I need it. 
And lo! there's a tool that I can use for this, which is (frankly) 
something of a surprise.

I've been learning a lot about Author-it lately for a new 
project.  It turns out that there's a new product called Author-it 
Assist that I can use to build my own personalized help files. I can 
use it to grab content from a wide variety of sources and add it to 
the application. (What this means is that I'll never have to look up 
again--for the umpteenth time--how to do watermarks in Word, or do a 
couple of security locking things in another program; I just write 
this up and  bind it in as context-sensitive online content.)

I am seriously pumped.  Has anyone else been using Author-it Assist 
yet and if so, have you got tips for me on how you're using it?

Yours truly,
