So you discovered Adobe® Captivate® and have learned to use it, but you’re wondering if you’re using it to its full potential. Or maybe it’s been some time since you evaluated help authoring tools and you’re wondering if RoboHelp® 6 is a good choice, or should you go with MadCap Flare™—or something else?

Neil Perlin, our program speaker for the September LSC meeting, will be conducting two workshops on Friday following the program meeting that could help you increase your Captivate skills or make a decision between RoboHelp and Flare.

•  Morning (8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.):
  Adobe Captivate 2 – Tricks With Advanced Features

• Afternoon (1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.):
  Comparison of RoboHelp and Flare

“We were thrilled to work with Neil on presenting these two workshops to our membership and the technical communication community in general,” Elisa Miller, Program manager said. “Neil always presents great programs and is always in demand. We’re very glad we could arrange to have him stay and present these workshops.” 

Pre-Registration Saves on Costs

Pre-register through the STC Lone Star community Web site at www.stc-dfw.org. You can attend without pre-registering, but space may not be available, and costs are higher.

You can prepurchase lunch from the hotel through the Lone Star community, which includes a buffet, drink, and dessert. Otherwise, you’re on your own for lunch. The hotel’s lunch buffet is available for $14.95, but your drink and dessert are extra along with the taxes.
