TRAINING: Free Online Event--XML-based Pharmaceutical Labeling
Success Stories - April 13, 2005

(Co-presented by Innodata Isogen & The Rockley Group)

Pharmaceutical labeling content must not only meet the demands of the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration regulatory requirements, it must also meet
ever-changing global regulatory requirements. Standards like Structured
Product Labeling (SPL) and XML provide considerable benefits for
addressing global labeling issues. This informative, free one-hour webinar
will demonstrate how XML-based component level content can:

* address global labeling issues
* provide better control of content
* be reconfigured to meet multiple regulatory requirements
* significantly reduce localization costs

Date: Wednesday, April 13, 2005
Time: 12:00PM EDT, 9:00AM PDT, 17:00 GMT
Moderator: Dan Dube ? Director, Business Analysis, Innodata Isogen
Speaker: Ann Rockley ? President, The Rockley Group

CONFERENCE: LavaCon 2005 in Honolulu, Hawaii now open for registration

Want to learn more about how to estimate and manage tech comm projects?
Attend LavaCon: The Third Annual Conference on Tech Comm Management

Dates: September 25-28, 2005

Location: Honolulu, HI

See www.lavacon.org for preliminary program and schedule information.

Items to note:

New in 2005: In response to feedback from last year's attendees, we are
changing the format of this year's program so you will attend breakout
sessions each morning and half day hands-on workshops each afternoon. That
will enable you to practice in the afternoon what they learned in the
morning. Also new: the hands-on workshops are now included in the
conference price! See the Programs page on the conference website for
more
info.

Conference Hotel: I am happy to announce that LavaCon 2005 will be held at
the Ilikai Hotel (a Renaissance by Marriott property), the same hotel
which hosted the STC Region 7/Region 8 Pan-Pacific Conference in 2000. I
am even happier to announce that the conference prices for rooms at this
Waikiki Beach hotel start at only $159 / night! See the website Hotel &
Air page for more info and upgrade specials.

Registration: Early registrations discounts are available--see the
Programs page for registration information and discount deadlines.

Additional information will be posted to the conference website regularly,
but feel free to call or email me with comments, questions, etc.

See you in Waikiki!

ANNOUNCE: Welcome EC Software as a new TECHWR-L Sponsor!

Join us in welcoming EC Software as a new TECHWR-L Bronze-level Annual
Sponsor: http://www.helpandmanual.com

EC Software delivers two tools for technical writers. Their flagship
product is Help & Manual, a stand-alone WYSIWYG help authoring tool. Help
& Manual creates HTML Help, Webhelp, Winhelp, Word documents, PDF files,
and print manuals. Designed to automate the publishing process, it creates
the help from the source (in the Help & Manual project database) without
requiring user interaction.

Help & Manual uses templates to customize the layout of HTML topics, print
manuals, and PDF files. It supports conditional output with export
conditions for chapters and topics. Conditional text and text variables
allow authors to replace text on the fly during the help compilation
(useful for documentation covering more than one version of the same
product). Help & Manual also includes the following tools: screen capture,
screenshot editor, a manual layout designer and reporting tools.

TNT Screen Capture complements Help & Manual. This product obtains and
customizes screen shots, leveraging many popular image effects (such as
gradual transparency and cut-out). The toolbox allows authors to add text,
icons, cursors and callouts to screen shots. Finally, TNT Screen Capture
also provides realistic 3-D effects with adjustable lighting, shadows and
reflection, using its built-in raytracer.

Welcome--and thanks to--EC Software as a new TECHWR-L Annual Sponsor!
Annual sponsors provide key support for the variety of TECHWR-L services
and features. For more information about sponsorships, please visit
