STORY: SnagIt Plug-in for Adobe FrameMaker

" . . . and SnagIt can be placed directly into Microsoft Word's toolbar.
Insert screenshots seamlessly!" Dan the technical writer explained to the
group of new employees.

"But I don't use Microsoft Word to author my documentation - I use Adobe
FrameMaker," an eager employee said.

"Never fear," Dan said seriously. "For all you framers, the SnagIt
Plug-in
for Adobe FrameMaker places SnagIt directly into your FrameMaker menu so
you can instantly insert screenshots from within the application."

Dan's eyes glittered. The crowd drew in closer.

He continued, "No more switching between programs! Instead, you can
capture any image and easily embed it into your project with just a click
of the mouse."

"That's . . . that's great," the eager employee stammered.

"What are you waiting for?" Dan challenged them. "Save time, get images -
no matter whether you use Word or FrameMaker - go download SnagIt right
now!

The group quickly scattered, and Dan was left alone in the conference
room.

Dan's boss walked in. Confused, he said, "Where is everyone? The
orientation meeting was supposed to start five minutes ago!"

Dan was in the process of helping himself to a large piece of the
orientation cake. "Mumrph," he said, trying to talk through a mouthful.
"Some framers had to run back and download SnagIt."

He'd do anything, Dan figured, to make people's work easier. And if it
also got him more cake, so be it.

Make your Adobe FrameMaker experience even better! Download SnagIt at
