TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm doing some volunteer work for a non-profit organization. (The pay will
be the experience & samples.) This group fears it might go out of
existence and I've convinced them that cleaning up some of their printed
material to present a good impression is just as important as finding
volunteers and minding the finances.
To that end, I've got permission to [re]create two books using PaperDirect
paper. I've have WinWord & a laser printer at my disposal. Have any of
you used the PaperTemplates or the Make-A-Booklet software? They're about
$40 and $50 respectively, which is a real problem with the budget. Are
they that much more helpful than just using WinWord? I have a full-time
job and do not expect to contract, so I can't just call this one a business
expense.
Do any of you know if PD might arrange a discount for a non-profit?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
