Please, could this discussion go offline or to a relevant forum or listserv? I've included an excerpt (below) from another post by Vicki Tsigaridis that contains information about other lists available.
-------------Start of excerpt---------------------
1. ====================================
DTP-L is occasionally useful for FrameMaker,
Interleaf, etc. info. Seems most people are
QuarkXpress & PageMaker brochure makers vs.
technical documentation folks. I am in a
continuing debate with myself to quit this. There
are several active techwr-l types who also post to
this list.
TO: DIGESTIF -at- antigone -dot- com
SUBJECT:
BODY: SUB DTP-L Vicki Tsigaridis
(this is strictly DIGEST -- 6 ~ 12 messages/digest)
2. ====================================
Word users (out of Germany) goes from newcomers too
lazy to RTM to pros willing to help you defeat the
problems of Master Doc. Strictly Word, but I think
NOT strictly WinWord. I have not recognized any
names from techwr-l so far, but there may be lurkers.
TO: mxserver -at- ufobi2 -dot- uni-forst -dot- gwdg -dot- de
SUBJECT:
BODY: SUBSCRIBE WORD-PC Vicki Tsigaridis
(there is a DIGEST option)
3. ====================================
WinHelp - Just signed on here; seems high level.
TO: listserv -at- admin -dot- humberc -dot- on -dot- ca
SUBJECT:
BODY: SUBSCRIBE WINHELP Vicki Tsigaridis
(may be WINHELP-L, but try the el-less version first)
This is really WINDOWS help, not WinWord+compiler
help, although there seems frequent mention of RoboHelp.
Other products and plain Windows are much more frequently
cited.
4. =====================================

Marketing) I have just joined and am waiting for a digest
