TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
No, Interleaf isn't difficult to learn if you use the tutorial or have
someone help. I wouldn't have wanted to try to figure it out on my own,
though. Even though I'm a technical writer, I'm the worst of the bunch
for not reading documentation! Like many of us, one of my strengths is
being able to figure out how to use software without any help, but
Interleaf isn't very intuitive. Because it's one of few programs that use
three buttons on the mouse, it might never have occurred to me to try the
middle one at all, and I couldn't do much in Ileaf without the middle
button (I had it programmed for the menu).
