Re: I may have a window to bring in FM

[John Posada <jposada99 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Sure
I'm creating 3 books:

   - Network Operations Center (NOC)
   - Network Infrastructure
   - Software Applications and Hardware

One of the subsections is Troubleshooting

The Primary issue is, Troubleshooting information can apply to the Software
Applications and Hardware (where the Trouble is against), to the Network
Infrastructure (where it affects) and the NOC, who fixes the Trouble.

Without jumping through Word hoops, it is difficult to update
Troubleshooting while having that material shared in multiple books. With
FM, I can place that material in all 3 books and when updated, updates in
all 3 books simultaneously.

A secondary capability is to sole-source output both as a PDF version for
field use and an online version onto our internal Sharepoint WiKi.

A tertiary benefit is we keep putting non-trouble shooting material in one
book, then after discussion, realize it should be in a different book. I
can now shuffle material around much easier than in Word.

In addition, though it matters only to me, is my section numbers, steps,
and bullets stay how I define them.

So I guess, definable books and multi-format output is my selling point.
