Am using Visio Plan 2 subscription, which is the desktop Visio Pro application. They seem to push themes to control the overall look of a drawing, and styles are there but not well named o rexplained. It turns out that you can rename or define a style, and set it to just affect the text of a...

Looks like there aren't too many Framers here - the last few threads were unanswered. I've recently started using Frame 15, with a bit of experience in older versions. I see Adobe, and some hits from STC Carolina. Anyone have favorite sites/resources?

Well - it seems that Windows has some features I haven't noticed until now - I can't believe I just learned this - noticed in Win 7, but does same thing in a Win 2K vm. In a command window, dir *.doc will also return .docx files. hm, that's almost cool. And, in VBA, the behaviour holds -...

Probably not, cause lots of folks have created add-ins over the years. Search the various PDF generators/makers - some of them will do what you want/

I don't think Word 2003 can save to PDF by itself. Do you have some add-in installed or external program? Adobe's Acrobat (full or pro versions) add one or several modules that do the job. They work from within Word, so you see a menu in there to "save to" PDF. They process the Word file, read...

Anyone building knowledge bases or doc libraries using SP Wiki sites? We're looking at migrating a large number of docs to SP, and the content from a lot of them into Wiki format.

Re LinkedIn- 1) groups - look at the groups that relate to what you've done. Join some. Then join some of the HR groups, too. Why? So the recruiters can easily find you. 2) Contacts - have you looked up the folks you worked with? Are you connected with them? What about industry contacts...

Thanks! That's kind of what I'm doing - at a previous project, I reviewed the a lot of the client's procedures, and helped rewrite and update their mobile device policy. But, I figured some more input would be nice. - I get hired to do the dangdest things... Regards Jay

Thanks - I appreciate the info!

Greetings... I see lots of discussion of backup and DR, doing mirroring to alternate sites and backing up to cloud rather than tape. Yet, I see that tape vendors are still out there, offering multi-Terabyte tape cartridges. What do you think? Anyone staying with tape, upgrading or even moving...

Ok - I am not an expert, but let me toss out a couple of comments and clarifiers: Some things depend on the OS and disk management - sometimes there's a drive management layer that obscures where the data is physically written. If you can for sure write over the media tracks/sectors where the...

Anyway, Thanks for the initial response. Scoping and planning a system should be pretty similar to software. The dev process would depend on size of project, I suppose. Testing - There's a lot of discussion about testing software - I don't see much about testing systems for deployment. Is that...

I forgot the other forum was private, and found this one after I made the other post. I'll repeat it here: I'm a technical writer, working with the IT group of a SoCal city. They want me to develop a body of policies and procedures for the City's IT - the idea being to draw from existing "best...

I posted a thread in another forum - it might have belonged here instead? SDLC for infrastructure comments?

Indeed.
