Adobe News of the Month

We launched a digital campaign on http://www.dowriteright.com for technical
writers who want a more powerful authoring tool than Word.

There are also a lot of conversations on social platforms (Facebook,
LinkedIn and Twitter) on the same subject – search for #WriteRight to join
the conversation!

April 2 @ 10AM PAC: http://adobe.ly/ZjeZCQ Rick Stone guest webinar on
"AdobeTCS: Blending Captivate with RoboHelp"

There’s more to Adobe Tech Comm Suite than just RoboHelp and FrameMaker;
there is also Captivate! This dynamic, almost “self-training” eLearning
tool is a tremendous “value add” to the suite for both products previously
mentioned. This webinar will focus on the many ways in which Captivate
videos or screen simulations can be integrated with RoboHelp. You may pause
during the creation of a RoboHelp project to initiate a Captivate movie for
inclusion in that project. You may also import previous saved Captivate
projects into RoboHelp for step-by-step learning. RoboHelp and Captivate
expert Rick Stone of Show Me Solutions will show you how.

About the presenter: Rick Stone is the instructor and co-owner of ShowMe
Solutions, based in Kansas City, Missouri. Rick became an Adobe® Certified
Instructor for the Adobe® RoboHelp HTML™ and Adobe® Captivate™ products
after first being a long time power user. Rick is well known among the user
communities and is also recognized as an Adobe Community Expert for both
products. He is also recognized as a Microsoft Help MVP as well as a member
of the Adobe® Captivate™ Advisory Board.

You may register for this webinar at: http://adobe.ly/ZjeZCQ



April 3 @ 9AM PAC: webinar http://adobe.ly/ZMXLjO "Focused Highlights of
Standard (unstructured) FrameMaker 11"

In this webinar, participants will see live demonstrations of some of the
most interesting new features in FrameMaker 11, including object styles,
image hotspots, video options, and smart insert functions. FYI – This
session may be of particular interest to Microsoft Word users whose
workflow has outgrown their product due to increased volume or complexity.

In this dynamic session, you will learn the following, among other things:

* See how to hyperlink a portion of a graphic to relevant text
* See how to add cues that will jump to desired locations w/in an embedded
video
* Insert styles, conditions, variables and more with “smart insert”

About the Presenter: Matt Sullivan focuses on online training and Adobe’s
technical communication and online training technologies. Matt’s background
in digital prepress prepared him for his current job, helping companies and
individuals produce content using both the Adobe Technical Communication
Suite and Adobe Creative Suite. He regularly trains groups in all related
applications and also consults in document conversion and template design
for both structured and unstructured documents. He is an Adobe beta tester
and regular Adobe representative at industry conferences.

Call For Proposals Close April 5 - Technical Communication UK (TCUK) –
September 24-26, 2013 Bristol, UK

Technical Communication UK (TCUK) (http://technicalcommunicationuk.com/)
which takes place in Bristol from 24th to 26th September 2013 is the UK’s
leading technical communication event, and without a doubt the friendliest
professional conference you can find.

As well as three days of workshops and presentations, TCUK is your
opportunity to meet and network with other technical communicators from
across the UK and many other countries. We have planned social activities
including receptions and a Gala Dinner (where we present the ISTC's annual
technical communication awards). In previous years delegates have organised
a number of popular conference fringe events, from quiz events and
late-night salsa dancing to early morning runs, and there are sure to be
similar activities this year.

The call for proposals is open but closes on 5th April, so if you want to
have a chance to speak at TCUK make sure you submit your ideas on time.
Regardless of whether you want to present for the first time or you are a
seasoned conference speaker, we want to hear from you. We don’t mind if you
are new to technical communication or if you have worked in this field for
ever, if you have something to say to other technical communicators then
TCUK 2013 is your chance to say it.

As well as topics relating to our specialist stream The Management of
Technical Communication, you may submit proposals on any topic that you
feel will be of interest to technical communication professionals. Have a
look at the list of suggested topics (
http://technicalcommunicationuk.com/index.php/archives/29) and use that as
a jumping off point for your imagination. What do you think would be of
interest to other technical communicators? We're waiting to hear from you.
