Three almost identical manuals
I am writing three manuals that are almost identical. However, each manual
has some unique content. As a former user of Adobe FrameMaker, my rash impulse was to use VBA to recreate the Condition Text feature in MS Word. Here's how it works: Info unique to manual A appears in these markup tags: ManualAContentOpen and ManualAContentClose. Manuals B and C have similar tags. If I want to print manual A, VBA scripts format B and C content as hidden text (Format menu | Font | Hidden checkbox). Content for A is not hidden, but VBA scripts hide markup tags. I have already starting this work and feel competent enough to complete it. I fear, however, that I might be giving into my dark impulses to play with VBA instead of writing. ;-) I was hired to be a writer of course. Does feature exist already somewhere? Am I on the right track? |
