Apex CoVantage (www.apexcovantage.com) is pleased to invite you
to attend a FREE live webinar "Controlling Help-Specific Features
in WebWorks" on Thursday, January 31st at 11 am EST; 8:00 am PST.

To be truly productive, authors need to be able to select
help-specific features independent of the formatting applied to the text. This webinar will demonstrate techniques Apex has developed to accomplish this. Attendees will walk away with a sample WebWorks project, sample FrameMaker template, and a sample EDD.

Free workshop in Yokneam Israel by Shlomo Perets on how to enliven documentation of software and hardware, and make it more usable by incorporating rich media in your electronic documentation (PDF, Online Help or Web pages). Registration at www.elephant.org.il required.

The techniques presented are not limited to FrameMaker, Acrobat or other specific authoring tools!
This presentation will introduce a variety of techniques including:
* popups/rollovers that display information on demand
* video simulations and demonstrations of software processes and functions
