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.
I have been using Toolbook to create CBTs, reference CDs, and sales rep
training materials over the past 2 years. I have a client who wants to put
a lot of text in a Toolbook application for reading and printing. Toolbook
limits its scrolling text fields to 32K characters - much too small for
this app. Does anyone know what Macromedia's capability is (Director or
Authorware)? I suggested calling Acrobat Reader to access PDF versions of
the articles, but they're not too wild about the Reader interface.
Toolbook is great for all the other capabilities we need in the product
(interactive graphs, video, hotspot photos, audio, etc.).
