Re: Version/Documentation Control Software

[Shari Scott <SScott -at- COMPLEXIMAGING -dot- COM>]

My two cents as a technical writer for a document management software
company...

I agree that Document management software may be overkill (besides it is
usually very expensive).  Could something like Source Safe work?  I must
admit, as a lone tech writer, I don't use Source Safe like I should so I am
unaware of all its features and ways to make it work for tech writing.

                <snip>Does anyone have any experience with using a software
package to give
                their documentation numbering & versions?</snip>

                Documentum falls under the Document Management genre of
application, and
                may be more than you need. There is a trade org that
specializes in
                document management, and they may be able to help you.
