Bright Path Solutions Leads the Way!

Bright Path Solutions has been successfully improving publishing processes
for clients since our formation in 1996. We understand publishing from the
author's side all the way to media distribution. Adobe and other companies
have long recognized Bright Path Solutions for excellence and expertise in
publishing tools such as FrameMaker and WebWorks Publisher. Whether you
need a DTD, an EDD, or a regular FrameMaker template, we can help. We can
boost your internal resources' skills quickly or help you implement an
efficient single-source solution. Our consultants work closely with you to
ensure the solution meets your needs.

XML EXPERTISE
Our publishing experts and trainers have worked with XML since its early
days. We know how to make XML fit within your publishing environment. In
fact, Bright Path Solutions is one of the few companies worldwide that
Adobe recognizes as experts in both XML and FrameMaker. Adobe's Enterprise
Solutions Guide, published in 2002, includes Bright Path Solutions in its
very short list of consulting companies. Request a copy at

Bright Path Solutions has been on the leading edge with XML technologies
since 1998. Our personnel can teach you how to create XML, work with
XML-ready tools, or even set up entire XML publishing systems.

SUCCESS STORIES
We're very proud of the following accomplishments:
· Who does Adobe call when they need experts to demo products and XML at
popular trade shows? Bright Path Solutions.
· Who did Adobe call to create FrameMaker 7 structured templates? Bright
Path Solutions.

There's even more.

Amazon.com).

STORY: Dan and SnagIt's Menu Capture

Dan looked mournfully out of the window at the gloomy winter morning. He
was just too tired to do work today - and he had a lot to do! How was he
supposed to keep his attention focused?

With a lackadaisical air, he began his next project. He opened up SnagIt
to do his screen captures, and noticed that he had the input choice of
Menu. His curiosity was nearly piqued.

He began experimenting with the Menu capture input and found the feature
let him capture drop-down menus from software applications and many other
windows on his desktop.

"How incredibly useful," he reluctantly grumbled.

Upon further exploration, he found that he could even easily capture menu
bars and cascading menus. He grabbed a menu, and used SnagIt Studio to
highlight it, annotate it and create graphics that clearly explained the
step-by-step processes for his project.

A little buoyed by this discovery, Dan felt energetic enough to get a cup
of coffee. As he passed a couple co-workers on his way to the break room,
he heard one say to the other, "That Dan is always so cheerful - I don't
know how he does it!"

Dan silently formulated a response in his head. "You just need regular
exercise, a moderate diet, and SnagIt - the best pick-me-up around."
